300 Days of Sun: A Novel por Deborah Lawrenson

This story takes place in the Algarve area of Portugal where there are 300 days of sun, hence the title. The story is divided between a mystery in 2014 and excerpts from a novel written in the 50s about WWII in this same area. The stories are intertwined and that's the crux of the novel.

I loved the concept but felt let down overall mostly because the ending was not satisfying to me but I can't quite understand why. I think because the crimes hinted at early in the book don't exactly tie out with the resolution of the story. I did enjoy the writing. I connected more with the WWII characters than the modern ones also and that may be part of my overall disconnect.

Despite my misgivings it was a worthwhile few days of reading.

The Lantern: A Novel por Deborah Lawrenson

Wait, you mean I'm not reading a spine tingling ghost story full of mystery, mayhem, and murder. I'm reading a book, where in the end, everything has a rational explanation ? Well, where's the fun in that ?

300 Days of Sun: A Novel por Deborah Lawrenson

Spoilers below.

Really enjoyed this book right up to the last 2 pages. Why do authors feel they have to end books sad? Do they think it's more legit that way? Every book I read doesn't have to end happy but there should be some realistic reason that it doesn't. This book the sad ending was contrived. Like she decided at the last minute to make it sad when the whole book was leaning towards happy and I was left feeling " well f*ck me ."

The Lantern: A Novel por Deborah Lawrenson

I love this author's voice, she is a very fresh breath of air. The novel was set in France, and it took me on a long, wonderful journey through the countryside. I thought I knew where the story was going, and it kept changing things up, which I loved. I cannot wait for another novel from this author, she's amazing. please take a chance, and read it soon!
