Már megint ugyanaz a bajom Cecelia Ahernnel, mint eddig: roppant jó ötletei vannak, de valahogy a könyv felére elfogy a lendület és még jönnek, jönnek az oldalak, de semmi újat nem ad hozzá az eddigiekhez, s végül nagyon nem kielégítő a megoldása. Ráadásul itt nagyon-nagyon sok mindent hagy magyarázat nélkül a hely, felépítése, értelme, emberek szerepe benne és a megoldás mind-mind nagyon kusza marad. Na és ott van Sandy: bár eleinte szimpatikus főszereplő volt, ahogy haladt a történet és ahogy egyre több dolgot megtudtam a múltjáról és ahogyan viselkedett sokat rontott a renoméján és egyre távolabb kerültem tőle. Ráadásul valahogy nem sikerült Ahernnek pontosan érzékeltetnie, hogy akkor most beteg volt-e, vagy sem. Mert még ha igen, akkor is lehetett volna belőle egy szerethetőbb alakot kihozni.

Ugyanakkor az eltűnt emberek családjáról és arról, hogy mennyire ragaszkodnak az emlékekhez, s mennyire nem adják fel, hogy kutassanak utánuk nagyon jó képet adott az írónő.

Szóval ez megint egy vegyes felvágott volt tőle: kiváló alapötlet, mesés történet, ahol azonban nem sikerült kellő finomsággal egybeszőni a csodát a valósággal.

Le persone possono sparire davanti ai nostri occhi. Oppure possono scoprirci, anche se ci stanno guardando da sempre. O ancora possiamo perdere di vista noi stessi, se non ci stiamo attenti.
[...]
Ogni tanto tutti ci perdiamo, che sia per scelta o a causa di forze che non possiamo controllare, ma quando impariamo ciò che la nostra anima ha bisogno di sapere, il sentiero si palesa davanti a noi. A volte, vediamo la via d'uscita, ma ci allontaniamo e ci inoltriamo ancora di più nostro malgrado, trattenuti dalla paura, dalla rabbia o dalla tristezza. A volte, preferiamo essere dispersi e continuiamo a vagare, perché è più facile. A volte, scopriamo la strada da noi. Comunque sia, veniamo sempre trovati.

Cecelia Ahern è stata una deliziosa scoperta. Non mi aspettavo nulla da questo libro, scovato in biblioteca e che mi ha attratto per la trama curiosa (una ragazza, Sandy Shortt, che sente un bisogno ossessivo di ritrovare cose e persone, che un giorno, poco prima di un appuntamento, si perde anche lei), ma è stata una sorpresa piacevolissima. Straconsigliato :)

This is an incredibly original novel. It solves the mysterious question of where things goes when they inexplicably disappear....everything from socks to mittens to people. The main character is an investigator who searches for missing people. When looking for a missing person, she goes missing herself and finds a world she never knew existed. The premise is unique and the story "hangs together" really well. I could not put this book down after I started it. All of the characters are interesting and well developed. Although this had the trademark "fairy tale" like feel of a Cecelia Ahern book, it was generally darker and a little more substantive than some of her other books. The book would appeal to anyone who likes "chick lit" but also to people looking for something a little "meatier" than a standard chick lit premise.

Hey Bhawna, this one is for you if you're ever reading this
I found it one of those books that made me ask why the hell did you pick this up. It was about a girl being lost and soon the narrator too gets lost. How can it be possible? That's not all but Donald also goes missing with Jack roaming like a fool to search for him. I don't remember whether they reach home, but tbh I found this book quite irritating.

I didn't think that I liked this book, but have caught myself thinking about it many times. It has definitely stuck with me.
