nickmasters 's review for:
The Nowhere Child
by Christian White
What a great debut novel. It really excites me when new authors can come out with such great stories! Christian White, you definitely gave me a story worth my time :).
Now for the mystery of Sammy Went. The story is relayed as we continuously jump between the present and the past, a narrative that is carried out seamlessly and with great precision. Characters, motives and relationships all reveal themselves as the timelines head towards a point of what I suppose we could refer to as enlightenment. Not only is the mystery in itself a great journey, but we as the reader we also get to ask ourselves about what actually makes a family, is there some fluidity about right and wrong, and can bad choices be reconciled if the reasons and outcomes are likely admirable?
This is definitely one of those books that you want to keep talking about way after finishing that last page.
Thank you NetGalley and HarperCollins for a Review Copy.
