Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. ¿Adónde van las personas que desaparecen? ¿Han decidido esfumarse o han sufrido un destino cruel? ¿Existe un lugar mágico al que van todas las cosas y las personas que se pierden? Desde que su amiga, Jenny-May desapareció cuando ambas tenÃan diez años, Sandy Shortt ha estado obsesionada con encontrar objetos y personas. Ahora, ya adulta, ha transformado su obsesión en su trabajo y ha montado una agencia dedicada a buscar personas desaparecidas. I loved the premise about a place where missing things go, including people, but for some reason it just didn't turn out to be very interesting. You don't find out why people go missing or how things find their way back. I found the book to be quite dragging, I'd get bored reading about Jack or the town 'Here' it just struggled to keep my attention. I also didn't find any of the characters particularly interesting. É o segundo livro da Cecelia Ahern que eu leio, e para ser sincera preferi o primeiro ("Para sempre, talvez" ou "Love, Rosie" em inglês). Custou-me muito acabar o livro... A história é sobre uma mulher chamada Sandy, quando ela é criança uma vizinha da idade dela desaparece e ninguém consegue explicar o seu desaparcimento. Depois disso a personagem principal fica obsecada em encontrar coisas (porque é assim que funciona, enfim), e quando se torna adulta começa a exercer a profissão de detetive privado que procura pessoas. Parecia que Ãa a ser uma história bastante interessante sobre uma mulher que se perde e vai parar a um lugar chamado Aqui, onde todas as coisas perdidas vão parar e vai encontrar lá alguém especial e tal e ela finalmente vai encontrar paz... NAO! Ela perde-se e fica toda maluca! Não estou a spoilar nem pouco... Achei o livro demasiado longo e chato! Que o próximo seja melhor... I had no emotional investment in this story. It was interesting, but not memorable. The ending felt rushed and just blah. And I hated the constant back and forth between flashbacks and present. They were hard to keep up with. I did finish this one, but I also skipped much of the descriptive paragraphs...of which there were an abundance. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML:Sometimes it takes losing everything to truly find yourself... Since Sandy Shortt's childhood classmate disappeared twenty years ago, Sandy has been obsessed with missing things. Finding what is lost becomes her single-minded goalâ??from the lone sock that vanishes in the washing machine to the car keys she misplaced. It's no surprise, then, that Sandy's life's work becomes finding people who have vanished from their loved ones. Sandy's family is baffled and concerned by her increasing preoccupation. Her parents can't understand her compulsion, and she pushes them away further by losing herself in the work of tracking down these missing people. She gives up her life in order to offer a flicker of hope to devastated families...and escape the disappointments of her own. Jack Ruttle is one of those devastated people. It's been a year since his brother Donal vanished into thin air, and he has enlisted Sandy Shortt to find him. But before she is able to offer Jack the information he so desperately needs, Sandy goes missing too...and Jack now finds himself searching for his brother and the one woman who understood his pain. One minute Sandy is jogging through the park, the next, she can't figure out where she is. The path is obscured. Nothing is familiar. A clearing up ahead reveals a camp site, and it's there that Sandy discovers the impossible: she has inadvertently stumbled upon the place â?? and people â?? she's been looking for all her life, a land where all the missing people go. A world away from her loved ones and the home she ran from for so long, Sandy soon resorts to her old habit again, searching. Though this time, she is desperately trying to find her way h Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

All in all, great novel, and it's pretty short, so you can get through it quickly. If you like a little bit of unbelievable and a little bit of mystery, you will probably like this. I skimmed some of the other reviews, and people seemed to give up on it easily or complain about the ending. All I have to say to that is...keep reading and the ending is fulfilling. ( )
