Beschreibung

From London to Corsica to Paris--as a young woman pursues the truth about her late mother, two captivating love stories unfurl.

Kate Darling's enigmatic mother--a once-famous ballerina--has passed away, leaving Kate bereft. When her grandmother falls ill and bequeaths to Kate a small portrait of a woman who bears a striking resemblance to Kate's mother, Kate uncovers a mystery that may upend everything she thought she knew.

Kate's journey to find the true identity of the woman in the portrait takes her to some of the world's most iconic and indulgent locales, revealing a love story that began in the wild 1920s and was disrupted by war and could now spark new love for Kate. Alternating between Kate's present-day hunt and voices from the past, THE BOOK OF LOST AND FOUND casts light on family secrets and love-both lost and found.

Worth reading if only for the evocative way that the author writes about Sardegna. Lucy Foley writes two kinds of books; I first came to her through her contemporary mysteries (The Hunting Party and The Guest List), but she has also written several historical fiction novels, of which this is one. I almost wish they were written under different names, because when I'm reading one of the latter, it makes it hard for me to let go of the expectations I have based on the mysteries. That said, I enjoyed this book and its depictions of grief and loss felt true to me.
