Lost Wander: A Novel

Uma história incrível e forte, personagens interessantes e bem desenvolvidos, e escrita maravilhosa. A autora consegue te puxar para dentro da narrativa, a leitura é muito envolvente e eu não conseguia parar de ler.
Já imaginava que fosse gostar, mas certamente superou minhas expectativas. Se tornou um novo favorito e deixou a vontade de ler todas as outras obras da autora.

I can’t imagine how hard it was to travel west in search for a better life. Naomi’s story was one of endurance, pain, heartache and most of all love â¤ï¸. Enjoyed the story. Was slow at times but ended beautifully.

“It’s worth it. The more you love, the more it hurts. But it’s worth it. It’s the only thing that is.â€

Where The Lost Wander is a Heartbreakingly beautiful love story filled with culture, hope, loss, adventure, grief, strength and survival. It’s the story of people who chose to leave everything behind on the search for a better life in the west in the 1850’s. It was definitely an emotional rollercoaster. The unforgettable characters were fantastic. Naomi “Many Faces†May was so strong and inspiring. John “Two Feet†Lowry was just such a beautiful soul. I absolutely loved the May brothers and each and every relationship in the story. The description of the atmosphere was amazing, Amy made me feel like I was on that Oregon trail right next to them. It made me appreciate my life a little more.

“I need her to go. To stay. To forgive me. To forsake me.â€

This is the best book I have read in a long time. The story is captivating and the storytelling is exceptional. Time to figure out which Amy Harmon book I’ll devouring next.

Sensitive and strong historical fiction.
Well-developed and relatable characters.
Lovely phrasing.
The words produced images and scents, emotions, and sounds.

Sometimes, I have no words to describe a book I loved so much. And after finishing this book, I couldn’t describe it.This book is in his own class, and has his own place in my heart. In addition, the book entered the list of the best books I read this year.
For me, reading a book “twice” is like I’ll be abroad right now, but, it happens to me once in while… The last book that made me want to read it twice was four months ago. What does it mean? It’s hard for me to disconnect from this book because it’s so good that it left a mark on my heart. It’s hard for me to move on to the next book, and I want to start it again as soon as I’m done because I don’t want to leave it. And I’m even happier that this happened to me with the author I love the most and admire her, her writing and her courage to write these books.

Our journey begins in 1853 in the US.
Naomi has never seen herself become a widow at the age of 20. The family embraces and supports her. Especially her mom. She sees her mother as a role model and admire her, She sees her as a smart, great woman, a figure to live by.

Throughout the book, I came across situations that Naomi has made and she is simply amazing . To see her develop and grow to face all kinds of people who see her only as ‘widow of…’ and not as Naomi. It hurt me. And I’ve always felt as part of a side character who just wants to talk to Naomi and say “you’re strongâ€.

When her family decides to start moving elsewhere in the direction of California, she finds herself in a journey of life and death. Joy and sadness. Disasters and quarrels But, she never expected that on this journey she would fall in love again.

John is a man who has always lived in both worlds.He was always in the middle of those worlds. He is half white on his father’s side and half Indian on his mother’s side.

John’s character has been through a lot. Try to imagine what it is like to have two worlds and live in them simultaneously. He has undergone a process of change, of acceptance. And the feeling of what it’s like to be in love. Because he never knew ‘true love’ for a woman before . â¤

As he joins the journey to California, he meets Naomi with her red hair and bright green eyes. And he slowly begins to discover things about himself. Their journey taught them how to get to know each other together, And the two want to build a life together for themselves.

But, when they get attacked in the middle of the journey. The families get separated, And Naomi sees John disappearing in front of her eyes the promise that they promised themselves was going to fade away. They will not be able to be together again. They could not live the life they wanted.

These two taught me some things. How to internalize one another, what it is like to know each other, and how to reconcile with who you are. Because that’s who you are.

In conclusion , the story was unusual . John and Naomi captivated my heart so much that I just found myself at the end of the book reading once more from the start to enjoy it again. I kept sections for myself to remember them forever. Knowing that Amy’s book is over, for me, is one of the most painful things. Her writing is unlike any other writer. She manages to convey to me something that no other writer can do. The story is combined with suspense and romance, And one journey. About self-learning and about ourselves, all diffrenet kind of pain and giving, and sometimes the pain is the one being buried with us. A magical book, with a romanctic story that just made my heart beat every single line. â¤
