The Lost Child by Emily Gunnis
4.0
1n 1952, Harriet Waterhouse faces an untenable choice as her husband is released from the mental institution where he has lived for the past five years.
In 1960, thirteen-year-old Rebecca Waterhouse faces a tragedy that takes her away from Seaview Cottage.
In 2014, journalist Iris Waterhouse covers the story of a mother and her newborn daughter, missing from the hospital.
The Lost Child is a well written novel that explores three timelines and deals with the issues of mental health, the effects of war on returning soldiers, and the effects of postpartum depression on women. The constant in this story is Seaview Cottage and the families who lived there. The timelines change back and forth, and the story is told from five different points of view. If you enjoy multigenerational stories, you will enjoy this book.
