A Lily in the Light por Kristin Fields
This story really captures the myriad of emotions and consequences of a missing child and how this impacts every member of the family and especially Esme. It was sad and hard to read sometimes as the emotions were realistically shared and poignant. It gave me insight into the struggles of the family during this crisis and then a glimpse of what it felt like to be reunited. Well written and believable characters.
This was the story of Lily, a 4 year-old who was abducted from her home. The books is predominately about how her abduction affected the remaining family members. This book had large gaps in the story-line and also seemed very superficial. This was the author's first novel and I got it free on Kindle first-reads. Potential!
Solid Coming Of Age During The Dawn Of The War On Drugs. As a coming of age tale set in the mid 60s, this evokes feelings of The Outsiders, Dirty Dancing, and My Girl - all phenomenal works. The use of a 13yo girl as the primary character is an interesting perspective that really allows Fields to tell a tale in a newish way even as she deals with things that most anyone who knows anything about that period at all is aware of on multiple levels. Truly a great story, and one that several of Fields' fellow Lake Union authors have appropriately lauded in words far more poetic than anything I'll be able to create, even in a review. As counterprogramming to the 2020 US Elections - it releases on Election Day 2020 here - it actually provides a truly interesting perspective that all too often gets lost, particularly in this particular Presidential election. And yes, since I am writing this review on August 23 and it releases on November 3, this is indicative that this is in fact an ARC, with all that this entails. But pick this up on release day. Go ahead and preorder it so that you have it on release day. You're going to want a distraction, and this tale is an excellent distraction. Very much recommended.… (más)
I feel bad for not rating this higher, but for a story with such an emotional plotline, it really didn't raise my emotions. It was a good idea and had good bones, but I feel like the author really missed out on the chance to make this the tear-jerker it could have been. 3/5 ⭐
