DROMINICKA ČÍTA

Stratení (Liz Moore)

Sumár recenzie
Kniha Stratení od Liz Moore rozpráva o tom, ako v roku 1975 v tábore zmizne dievča Barbara, dcéra vplyvnej rodiny, pričom paralelne prebleskuje prípad jej dávno stratného brata Beara. Na začiatku som sa však v príbehu strácala kvôli množstvu postáv a mätúcemu preskakovaniu časov, navyše mi vadila sporná transkripcia mena T.J. Postupne som si zvykla na autorkin štýl, kapitoly sa skracovali, napätie rástlo a odhaľovali sa rodinné tajomstvá, ktoré vrcholia silným finále. Ak máte radi zamotané rodinné záhady s mrazivou atmosférou hôr, odporúčam túto knihu.
