Book of Lost Threads by Tess Evans

4.0

The Book of Lost Threads was a very interesting read for me. The book is based around Finn and his daughter Moss, who are both struggling with their lives. Numerous themes are explored in this book, for example same sex parents, family abuse. The threads seem to me to be the lives of different people with some connecting well and others not.

The author established a good sense of place and can relate to Opportunity where most of the book is set as a typical Australian country town. The characters are all very interesting and I kept on wanting to read to find out more about them. Some had suffered as a result of a traumatic event and were seeking closure.

The end of the book came quickly and perhaps was not as satisfying as I thought it could be. I still would recommend this book and am interesting in reading more by this author.
