I am reviewing a copy of All the Lost Places through Bethany House Publishers and Netgalley:
The year is 1807, when a baby is found floating in basket along the quiet canals of Venice, a guild of artisans takes him in and raises him as a son, skilled in each of their trades. Although the boy, Sebastien Trovato, has wrestled with questions of his origins, it isn't until a woman washes ashore on his lagoon island that answers begin to emerge. In hunting down his story, Sebastien must make a choice that could alter not just his own future, but also that of the beloved floating city.
In 1904 Daniel Goodman is given a fresh start in life as the century turns. He hopes to redeem a past full of regrets he is sent on an assignment from California to Venice to procure and translate a rare book. There, he discovers a city of colliding hope and decay, much like his own life, and a mystery wrapped in the pages of that filigree-covered volume. With the help of Vittoria, a bookshop keeper, Daniel finds himself in a web of shadows, secrets, and discoveries carefully kept within the stones and canals of the ancient city.. . and in the mystery of the man whose story the book does not finish: Sebastien Trovato.
Once again Amanda Dykes weaves a powerful and beautiful tale...
I give All the Lost Places five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
