I have been rereading the wonderful What Was Lost by Catherine O’Flynn. It’s a bittersweet experience in a way, as while I’m loving the story I also itch with jealousy that CO’F writes so wonderfully and apparently effortlessly about a setting with which I am very familiar.
So I thought this an appropriate time for another retro blog. I will re-share with you the one I wrote in praise of this gem of a novel the first time I read it last year:

I am actually quite proud of that blog, even if my title is less than original. My enthusiasm for the book certainly leaps off the screen. What Was Lost is a book about which I use the adjective “inspirational.”
