I really liked this book. It centers around Edie and is told in two distinct time periods. The “present” 2018 and the past 1951. Edie is a young girl on the outskirts of her school’s society. No friends, not much money, and a mother who claims to be a fortune teller. Then one day she is befriended by Lucy, the school’s golden girl. As the friendship grows so do Lucy’s secrets and they are secrets Edie kept until the end. Even when Lucy went missing. But now Edie has lived her life. Her husband has died and she is suffering from the beginnings of dementia. One thing remains clear to her, she must find Lucy who has now been missing over 50 years. While the mystery of Lucy’s disappearance is in the drivers seat of this book, it is more the story of a strong woman who had to make and fight for a good life while watching it slip away in her memory that is heartbreaking. As someone who had a parent with dementia, the interactions between her and her family are all too real. I loved Edie and am glad she does seem to have found the kind of life she deserved.
