How to be Lost - Amanda Eyre Ward

To their neighbours in suburban Holt, New York, the Winters family has it all: a grand home, a trio of radiant daughters, and a sense of security in their affluent corner of America. But when five-year-old Ellie disappears, the fault lines within the Winters family are exposed. Fifteen years later, Caroline, now a New Orleans cocktail waitress, sees a photograph of a woman in People Magazine. Convinced that it is Ellie all grown up, Caroline embarks on a search for her missing sister. As she travels through the New Mexico desert, the mountains of Colorado, and the smoky underworld of Montana, she devotes herself to salvaging her broken family. "How To Be Lost" is a spellbinding novel about sisters, family secrets - and love.

It did not take me long to get through this novel, and I'm not sure how much attention I was paying to it as I read it. It was an interesting idea of a family - pretty much torn in different directions since the disappearance of the main characters sister, when they were children. It follows a section of her life where she finally finds herself and can get herself back on her feat and moving forward - i.e. finding Closure.

The way the story is written - where it unravels piece by piece the story to wrap up to the conclusion, and it feels completed when you get to the end of the novel. The writing style is easy to read and very easy to get into.  Its easy enough to follow and is quite interesting. I don't think it is as good as the lovely bones (the book its comparing itself to) but it is aspiring to be that type of book.  Its a good quick read, that has a moving story line and is gripping.
