![]() Kate’s journey to find the woman in the portrait would take her to many places – from her home in London, to Corsica, Paris and New York. Anger, grief, frustration – and then her grandmother died… But when Evie confessed a shocking secret to Kate, at the same time giving her an old portrait which she had had for many years, Kate was filled with a mix of emotions. The only constant was the daily visit to her grandmother Evie in the nursing home. With the recent devastating death of her mother, Kate found herself floundering. ![]() An OK read for me, just never truly hooked me.ĭisclosure: I received a copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This book covers many things - love lost, grief, separation, and family secrets. ![]() The relationships presented weren't all that convincing. The premise of the book is completely my kind of story, though overall I wasn't "wowed." While the descriptions of time and place were beautiful, I thought that it was too wordy and slow. Who is the mysterious woman in the portrait who looks so much like Kate's mother? The "present" (Kate's story) was set in the 1980s, while the young artist's love story was set in the 1930s. THE BOOK OF LOST AND FOUND is about a young woman's quest to discover the story behind a portrait done 50 years ago, and one that her grandmother kept hidden for many years. That location is so gorgeous I want to be there! Part of the book is set in Corsica, and the descriptions are amazing. ![]() The cover of this book drew me in (US edition, 2015). ![]()
