The Lost Manuscript by Cathy Bonidan

5.0

30 years ago a half-finished manuscript was left on a plane and today it is found in the nightstand of a hotel and returned to the author. Told through letters, The Lost Manuscript discovers the journey of this manuscript during its 30 year absence and the lives of the people it touched.

This book is absolute magic and I finished it one day because I couldn't wait to hear what happened next. I loved the epistolary style, the depth of the relationships formed throughout the book and the tenacity and heart of the main character Anne-Lise. It makes me want to write letters again.

The narrators are wonderful and bring depth and distinction to each character. The voices and personalities really helped me keep the characters and relationships straight throughout the book.

I can't recommend The Lost Manuscript enough.
