A review by kleonard
The Lost Storyteller by Amanda Block

2.0

A woman whose family has long been estranged from her father decides to seek him out when a reporter declares that he's hell-bent on find ing the man, who disappeared from public view many years earlier. Together, the woman and the reporter do some digging, begin a relationship together, and find her dad, whose story is one of mental illness, the stigma of such, and the fear of lack of control, reprisals from the woman's mother and her family, and society at large. It's a slow read and a bit pat, and the characters are all pretty awful people--privileged and snobby and not very thoughtful. Not entirely terrible, but not something I'd recommend to most people.
