The Book of Lost Friends by Lisa Wingate

4.0

---

I’d rate this book around 3.5 stars. There are two storylines, one of Hannie in 1875, who had been a slave, and one of Benny, a teacher in Louisiana in 1987. This book started out very slow for me and it took me about a quarter of the way through to become more interested in it. That said, once the story picked up, I did enjoy it for the most part. I was very interested in the different Lost Friends articles as these were not something I was previously aware of. In my opinion, the story of Hannie was much more interesting than that of Benny, and I especially didn’t understand the need for the twist regarding Benny at the end of the book.
