When Jim Nealon walks into Lizzie Flynn's shop and proposes that she help him make jigsaws, Lizzie agrees. Putting together one person's memories so that another person can feel part of them seems like a good idea. Then Jim shows her the photographs he intends to use and Lizzie's life is in the air, threatening to fall. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

The story switches between 2006, which is the present day of the novel, and 1969, when Lizzie was a mostly innocent child of ten. She recounts stories of the nuns who taught her, and the day trip they took to the zoo... and there's much that the reader learns through her misunderstandings of other more adult situations.
I had guessed some of the turns of the plot, but not all of them. By the time I was half-way through this book, I was so engrossed I could hardly put it down.
The writing is nicely-paced, and brings out the characters so that I could almost see them. I thought the plotting and gradual revelation of the ‘jigsaw’ of Lizzie’s life was cleverly done. Having said that, it wasn’t a warm and uplifting story, but shocking in places, and quite draining at times.
Nevertheless, I enjoyed it very much and would recommend it to anyone who likes powerful women’s fiction. ( )
