AUDIO BOOK REVIEW: The Night We Lost Him by Laura Dave
REVIEW:
A man filled with secrets is found dead and his children go on a quest to find out the truth. Told in alternating chapters we learn more about the father and the continuing relationship he has had with a woman he has know since high school. A woman who continues to turn down his proposals of marriage and a woman who has shaped his world.
Liam Noone compartmentalizes his life. He has multiple children from various marriages but keeps them apart. Now that he is gone his son reaches out to his older sister asking for her help in discovering what really happened to their father. He doesn't believe that his father's death was an accident. At first she is reluctant but the more they dig the more they discover about their father and realize that there is more to his death. Working together brother and sister discover a bond and while their relationships struggle they discover what they really want.
I loved this book and had tears running down my face for the last 1/4 of the book. I was moved that this journey helps both brother and sister learn more about their father and each other. There are so many emotions and so many complicated relationships in this book. It is a great read but bring your tissues.
