jeanne_bean 's review for:
Lost Horizon
by James Hilton
I first read this book *yikes* 28 years ago before entering my senior year of HS. That was the first time my HS had assigned a summer reading list. (Ethan Frome, A Doll's House, The Cherry Orchard, Lost Horizon, and anything from Henry James were on the list.) I remember loving this book so I decided to reread it this summer.
I vaguely remembered the plot, but rather more remembered a few of the mysteries of Shangri-La. Again, I was transported to the mountains of Tibet while reading Lost Horizon. I enjoyed the story and the mystery of Shangri-La. How can all these people live together so peacefully, with everything in moderation? What are all the mysteries of the Valley of the Blue Moon? Does aging have something to do with a literal blue moon in the Valley of the Blue Moon? And how sad would it be if the outside world discovered this idyll and ruined it.
A timeless story of utopia.
