Paradise Misplaced
By Lisa April Smith
This novel revolves around three
stories. First you have Charlie who is a successful model then one day she is
brutally attacked leaving her in the hospital. Second you have Naomi, a Jewish
survivor of the Holocaust working on a dig in Israel when she comes across a
picture of a woman in a magazine who must be one of her long lost daughters.
Lastly but not least you have Jack who spends his days romancing and swindling
women in Buenos Aires after he faked his own death leaving Charlie to fend for
herself. As Charlie recovers she begins to help the investigators find her
attacker, being pulled once again into a scheme of art forgery.
This is an interesting novel not only
bringing to life several places around the world but also creating an
interesting and dysfunctional family dynamic full of drama. There is so much
that happens in this novel but it isn’t over-whelming in its execution it only
succeeds in keeping you wrapped in the story until the very end. With Charlie
being attacked, Jack trying to survive the only way he knows how, and Naomi who
struggles against her feelings each moment you will be drawn further into an
intertwining story. Though there is less
romance in this novel than in the first it is highly dramatic and involving, as
the character focus is less on Charlie and more on her parents. When you add in
the suspense with the drama and mystery you have a brilliant book that will
take you around the world and back making you anxious for more!
