Work InformationA Place Called Here by Cecelia Ahern
![]() KayStJ's to-read list (687) No current Talk conversations about this book. É o segundo livro da Cecelia Ahern que eu leio, e para ser sincera preferi o primeiro ("Para sempre, talvez" ou "Love, Rosie" em inglês). Custou-me muito acabar o livro... A história é sobre uma mulher chamada Sandy, quando ela é criança uma vizinha da idade dela desaparece e ninguém consegue explicar o seu desaparcimento. Depois disso a personagem principal fica obsecada em encontrar coisas (porque é assim que funciona, enfim), e quando se torna adulta começa a exercer a profissão de detetive privado que procura pessoas. Parecia que ía a ser uma história bastante interessante sobre uma mulher que se perde e vai parar a um lugar chamado Aqui, onde todas as coisas perdidas vão parar e vai encontrar lá alguém especial e tal e ela finalmente vai encontrar paz... NAO! Ela perde-se e fica toda maluca! Não estou a spoilar nem pouco... Achei o livro demasiado longo e chato! Que o próximo seja melhor... I had no emotional investment in this story. It was interesting, but not memorable. The ending felt rushed and just blah. And I hated the constant back and forth between flashbacks and present. They were hard to keep up with. I did finish this one, but I also skipped much of the descriptive paragraphs...of which there were an abundance. Sinds de verdwijning van haar klasgenote twintig jaar geleden, is Sandy Short geobsedeerd door alles wat verdwijnt. Vinden is haar levensdoel, of het nu gaat om de autosleutels, die ene sok die in de was verloren is gegaan of om personen die spoorloos lijken te zijn. Op haar zoektocht naar een van die mensen verdwijnt Sandy zelf en komt terecht op de plek van de verloren dingen. Maar al snel gaat Sandy weer op zoek, ditmaal naar de weg naar huis... Loved it. It make me think. If a book makes you think . Transports you to an alternate reality where imaginary friends are real no reviews | add a review
From the bestselling author of P.S. I LOVE YOU and LOVE, ROSIE, comes a tale of a woman who learns that sometimes it takes losing everything to truly find yourself... Since Sandy Shortt's childhood classmate disappeared twenty years ago, Sandy has been obsessed with missing things. Finding what is lost becomes her single-minded goal--from the lone sock that vanishes in the washing machine to the car keys she misplaced. It's no surprise, then, that Sandy's life's work becomes finding people who have vanished from their loved ones. Sandy's family is baffled and concerned by her increasing preoccupation. Her parents can't understand her compulsion, and she pushes them away further by losing herself in the work of tracking down these missing people. She gives up her life in order to offer a flicker of hope to devastated families...and escape the disappointments of her own. Jack Ruttle is one of those devastated people. It's been a year since his brother Donal vanished into thin air, and he has enlisted Sandy Shortt to find him. But before she is able to offer Jack the information he so desperately needs, Sandy goes missing too...and Jack now finds himself searching for his brother and the one woman who understood his pain. One minute Sandy is jogging through the park, the next, she can't figure out where she is. The path is obscured. Nothing is familiar. A clearing up ahead reveals a camp site, and it's there that Sandy discovers the impossible: she has inadvertently stumbled upon the place-- and people--she's been looking for all her life, a land where all the missing people go. A world away from her loved ones and the home she ran from for so long, Sandy soon resorts to her old habit again, searching. Though this time, she is desperately trying to find her way home...

I found the book to be quite dragging, I'd get bored reading about Jack or the town 'Here' it just struggled to keep my attention. I also didn't find any of the characters particularly interesting. (
