The Saint of Lost Things

De: Tish Delaney

Narrado por: Bronagh Waugh

There was a time when Lindy Morris escaped to London and walked along the Thames in the moonlight. When life was full and exciting.

Decades later, Lindy lives back with her Auntie Bell on the edge: on the edge of Donegal and on the edge of Granda Morris's land. Granda Morris is a complicated man, a farmer who wanted sons but got two daughters: Auntie Bell and Lindy's mother, who disappeared long ago.

Now, Lindy and Bell live the smallest of lives, in a cottage filled with unfulfilled dreams. But when the secrets they have kept for thirty years emerge, everything is rewritten. Will Lindy grasp who she is again?

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Delaney never succumbs to cliche, but creates a vividly realised narrative in which you long for her characters to break free and triumph." (The Observer)

"Superb. An assured second novel. The destructive impulses driving Delaney's characters reap a bitter harvest. Delaney has a long and fruitful career ahead of her." (Financial Times)

"Thoroughly absorbing, it didn't let me down." (The Guardian)

Repetitive in details

So much negativity and abuse, which is covered again and again in the same way throughout the book. Repetition of certain phrases that became irritating. Such bitter people that so quickly turn around to acceptable to suit the story narrative.

Beautiful

Reverting and beautifully written. The narrator was brilliant and so pleasant to listen to. Highly recommend this book.
