Goodreads Synopsis
This is the story of a love song . . . And like any good love song, it has two parts.
In Australia, Arie Johnson waits impatiently for classical pianist Diana Clare to return from a world tour, hopeful that after seven years together she’ll finally agree to marry him.
On her travels, Diana composes a song for Arie. It’s the perfect way to express her love, knowing they’ll spend their lives together . . . Won’t they?
Then late one night, her love song is overheard, and begins its own journey across the world.
In Scotland, Evie Greenlees is drifting. It’s been years since she left Australia with a backpack, a one-way ticket and a dream of becoming a poet. Now she spends her days making coffee and her nights serving beer. And she’s not even sure whether the guy she lives with is really her boyfriend or just a flatmate.
Then one day she hears an exquisite love song. One that will connect her to a man with a broken heart . . .
Review
The Lost Love Song is a beautifully written story of how a love song takes a journey around the world and brings people together. I honestly loved that aspect of the book, getting to know the different characters and how this song helped shape their life.
This book covers a range of themes from new love, grief, family and friendship but at it’s forefront it’s a story about second chances. It became impossible to put down and I was honestly gutted when it finished.
It’s hard for me to delve into these characters without spoiling the story and the journey this book takes you on. I can’t explain the way this book entwines so many lives in ways I could have never had guessed.
So pick up The Lost Love Song. Go on this adventure with these characters and this song. You won’t regret it.
Rating: 4/5 stars
