11-30-08 What Was Lost by Catherine O'Flynn - Fiction

2 - Nope, didn't really like this one. I'd heard a lot about it, it won a Costa First Novel Award, but it just was not what I thought it would be and wasn't enjoyable either. This is another case of don't believe the cover blurb. this is not a mystery, this is not really about the girl who disappears, this is a character study of lonely, lost people. And boring. I finished it for two reasons: it was short and I really hoped to find out what happened on the day Kate Meaney disappeared. You do, in the very last chapter. Finally.
