"Following the loss of her mother, eight year old Evie is sent to a new life in rural Wales - a dripping place, where flowers appear mysteriously on doorsteps and people look at her twice. With a sense of being lied to, she sets out to discover her family's dark secret - unaware that when a local girl vanishes, there is yet more darkness to come.
Now years on, as Eve Green awaits the birth of her own child, she remembers that first Welsh summer - her lies, her anger, her own reckless role in the hunt for Rosie's abductor, and how, through her suppressed grief and strange friendships, she learnt some hard lessons - about trust, identity, guilt, love and how to survive when love is gone."

At best I read the first 80 pages and skimmed the last of the book. It just did not pull me in. This is going to Aceofhearts from YBS #20. I hope you enjoy the read Ace.

Received the book today as part of a YBS swap

My mom, AceofHearts, passed away from breast cancer on September 17, 2013. Aside from being one of the best people I know, she was an avid reader and took immense pleasure in Bookcrossing, her book club, and reading many great books. Unfortunately she didn't get around to reading this book.

We had similar tastes in books and would share them whenever we read something we enjoyed. This book sounds interesting so I'm going to keep it to read.

Pregnant with her first child, Eve goes down memory lane remembering her single mother and losing her at a young age. Eve went to live with her grandparents in Whales after this tragedy on farm land.

125 pages in to the book and that's really all I could tell you that the book was about because it was so slow going. Eve's future husband worked on the farm and there could have been a story there about how they fell in love with each other but that never really started. There also may have been a girl missing but we only met her about 115 pages in and it was just about how she wasn't the nicest girl. Almost half way through the book and I got fed up with the lack of progress being made and decided to give up.

Left in the LFL at Selma Crs.
