The Lost Love Song by Minnie Darke

5.0

If you’re unfamiliar with The Lost Love Song and love beautiful stories that give you all the feels, then this is a must read!

This is truly great Aussie fiction and I feel like it might not be as well known as it deserves to be.

The Lost Love Song broke my heart multiple times. I didn’t expect the direction this story would take when I began and I won’t say much about the plot except to say this is a story about different types of love, about what it is to gain and lose love, about music’s ability to connect us, share stories and bridge time and geography.

Minnie Darke is clearly a talented writer and there were moments that the text had me breathless. I loved the subtlety and the emotion in her words. This book took me by surprise and I’m so glad I made the decision to pick it up off my shelf.

This was a 5-star read for me and I hope to read Minnie Darke’s Star-Crossed very, very soon!
