![]() ![]() Lisa Jewell is a great author and the credit also goes to the fantastic reading performance of Gabrielle Glaister. A fabulous, brilliant book, strong recommendation for all those who love a real serious insight in human behavior and motives. ![]() it is more about the real psychology of the characters and the deep understanding of nuances and flaws in all of us. There are no “twist and turns” and “cliffhanger” endings. ![]() the mastery of writing: it doesn’t matter that we more or less know and can predict what is going on. And it is brilliant: the well thought and developed plot, the build up, the characters. However, this jewel of book (and I do this purposely), was somehow hidden in my online library for a couple of years. It is my favorite kind of fiction and honestly, rarely a book lives up to my expectations, regardless of raving reviews (where I sometimes wonder if we were reading the same novel!). I can’t say too much more without spoiling it and giving away who is involved. The story starts off when Ellie is with Laurel and then the book jumps around a couple of different perspectives from those involved. I grew up reading Agatha Christie and Patricia Highsmith and polished my taste in psychological thrillers long ago before it became all the rage with “Gone girl”. Lisa Jewell’s Then She Was Gone focuses on the story of Laurel and the loss of her daughter Ellie ten years ago. ![]()
