I stumbled upon this book at a drug store. I had never heard of it before (or the author for that matter) but, by the brief summary on the back, I was intrigued.
It is a book written in flashback about an old woman who was abandoned on a boat as a young child and ended up in Australia. She is given the name "Nell" by the new family that finds her and she doesn't find out for a while that she isn't her parents biological daughter. Her past is a complete mystery and when she passes, her grandaughter makes it her mission to find out what happened in her grandmother's past.
This book will definitely keep you on your toes and it is very hard to put down! I was trying to figure out what the outcome would be the whole time and I can guarantee that you will be taken by surprise.
The only thing about this book is that like I said it is written in flashback. So, the events of one chapter will have taken place in 1976, the next in 1913, and the next will be set in 2005 (ex. chapters 5-7) It isn't that hard to follow, but I admit that I did flip back to other chapters a couple of times to keep track of everything. It will make you use your brain a little bit. :) If you pay attention, you will not have a problem at all.
Overall, I think this book is very well written and I highly recommend it. I enjoyed it so much, that I am now reading another book by the same author (keep a look out for that review). It's Definitely worth your time! If you read it, or have read it, let me know what you think!
