lou_wilham 's review for:

Lost by Gregory Maguire
3.0

The story was wonderful, Winnie makes an amusingly unreliable narrator, but the blurb on the back of the book is very misleading—hence the 3 stars.

This is not A Christmas Carol retelling ala Wicked or Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister. It's a story of a woman avoiding grief, and being forced to accept it via supernatural means. Wonderful, but not what I was expecting. So I'm honestly a little disappointed as I read it during Christmas hoping for something more Christmas Carol adjacent.
