Reviews

""Lost "is gripping, riveting, electrifying, arresting and sometimes frightening. Highly emotional and understatedly intelligent, with several narratives that come together seamlessly and unpredictably. Susan is a great lead character: warm, complicated and totally believable. I hate to say it because it'll sound so commonplace, but it's got to be said: I literally couldn't put this book down."

-- Stephen Dixon, author of "Meyer"

""Lost" is a remarkably complex and intricately told story. The nuances and surprising angles of observation Lichtenstein brings to bear upon her characters and on the situations in which they find themselves-her elegant and sly artfulness-are constantly surprising and always illuminating. Alice Lichtenstein has written a novel that is a constant amazement!"

--Robb Forman Dew, author of "Dale Loves Sophie to Death"

"Here is a virtuoso novel which manages to be both a nail-biting page turner and a lyrical meditation on fate and longing. "Lost" interweaves the stories of three inimitable characters who feel so real they're likely to enter the reader's dreams. This is the type of book you'll want to press into the hands of everyone you know - for the story is intensely suspenseful and achingly beautiful, a masterful exploration of the intricate, heart-rending ways we all seek to survive."

--Rebecca Godfrey, author of "Under the Bridge"

"Lost is a beautiful book, told by a lyrical new voice. A warm welcome to Alice Lichtenstein."

--Roxana Robinson, author of "Cost"
