![]() Books Read in 2016 (2,685) No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. Very enjoyable! Quite the page turner! I really liked the characters and was very concerned about how all their problems would be resolved. Fascinating story! I do love Liane Moriarty. This had a good narrator as well. ( ![]() This was a winding road. I am a big fan of Liane Moriarty and the flawless way she weaves multiple narratives together. The story of the Doughtry sisters and the baby they found abandoned in a nearby cabin is one full of secrets and rich with family drama. The events unfold after Connie Doughtry's death and her sister Rose is not sure she can keep the big family secrete of who baby Enigma truly is. Connie has left her home to her nephews' ex-girlfriend and with that the actions are set in motion that as much as Connie wished the past would have stayed buried, just can't be hidden any longer. Tweede lectuur, nog altijd even luek! Once upon a time on the fictional island of Scribby Gum, two sisters, Connie and Rose, find an abandoned baby they call Enigma. That’s one story line. Meanwhile in Sydney, Sophie despairs of ever meeting Mr. Right and obsesses about her up-coming birthday. The two story lines collide when Connie leaves her house on Scribby Gum to Sophie, whom Connie met while Sophie was dating her nephew. Other story lines develop from this primary scaffold as the novel moves towards the Last Anniversary of the day the sisters found Baby Enigma. I enjoyed reading this book despite the many unappealing characters. Sophie is bequeathed a house on a tiny family-run island, that makes its income from an old mystery. I enjoy Moriarty’s novels for their insightfulness wit & understanding of contemporary life & issues. But found this one difficult to keep an interest in, too slow-moving and a cast of hum-drum characters, and a lot of post-natal depression. Margie, a minor character, was the most interesting, married to a man who belittled & ignored her, turning herself & her life around. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
