Suspense Captivating story with interesting main characters and a beautifully described setting in East Yorkshire - at least for the first two-thirds of the book. I loved Lisa Jewell’s rich language and could easily imagine myself standing at the beach in this little coastal town. But my excitement disappeared in the last section when events (and people) stopped being plausible. It is one of those stories that start with great promise but finish with a disappointingly weak ending. Still, it was a nice read. Alice finds a man sitting on the beach all day. She then goes out, finds he has amnesia, and invites him in. On the same day, Lilly's husband doesn't come home. After contacting the police they tell her no such person exists. The pov alternates from Alice, Lily and an event in 1993. This book really had me guessing who the man with amnesia was, nicknamed "Frank" by Alice's five-year-old daughter. I kept changing my mind! But I loved the way everything turned out. This was a page-turner and my favourite out of the three books I've read by Jewell. no reviews | add a review
In a windswept British seaside town, single mom Alice Lake finds a man sitting on the beach outside her house. He has no name, no jacket, and no idea how he got there. Against her better judgment, she invites him inside. Meanwhile, in a suburb of London, twenty-one-year-old Lily Monrose has only been married for three weeks. When her new husband fails to come home from work one night she is left stranded in a new country where she knows no one. Then the police tell her that her husband never existed. Twenty-three years earlier, Gray and Kirsty are teenagers on a summer holiday with their parents. Their annual trip to the quaint seaside town is passing by uneventfully, until an enigmatic young man starts paying extra attention to Kirsty. Something about him makes Gray uncomfortable, and it's not just that he's playing the role of protective older brother. -- Page 2 of cover. No library descriptions found. |
