My Review: The Edge of Lost is the kind of book that plunges you into its world and was so engaging that I read it in two sittings. It has two storylines, one being much more dominant, that finally converge towards the end of the book. The book starts in 1937 with a frantic search for a little girl who has gone missing on Alcatraz island. Then the book shifts back a couple of decades to Ireland and the main story which focuses on the tumultuous life of a young Irish boy, Shan Keagan who makes his way to America with the hopes to lives his dreams as an entertainer.Through Shan's eyes the reader gets a clear view of the immigrant experience as he moves to New York City. He's an easy character to like and you can't help but root for him and the cast of secondary characters and the descriptions of New York City are vividly depicted. While the reader gets engrossed in Shan's life the question of what happened to the missing child on Alcatraz still lingers.I'd classify this book as a lighter historical fiction read. Sure, it deals with some heavy situations (immigration, prohibition, prison, loss ...) and had some great writing but it still kept that lighter tone. The only thing that lowered my rating of this book is that while I adored Shan's story, the storyline that focuses on the missing girl (the last third of the book) fell a little flat to me. I guess I was expecting something grittier since it was set on Alcatraz island and more substantial since the missing girl is the focus of the book description. Also, towards the end of the book some of the twists felt far fetched and things wrapped up a little too nicely. But in the end this was still a very enjoyable read and I liked how the two storylines were brought together towards the end of the book.This is a coming of age story about about family - in all its forms, the immigrant experience and taking advantage of second and third chances. Book clubs should check out the Q and A with the author at the back of the book for some great book club discussions.My Rating: 4 starsDisclaimer: My sincere thanks to Kensington Books and NetGalley for providing me with a complimentary e-book copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.**This book review can also be found on my blog, The Baking Bookworm (www.thebakingbookworm.blogspot.ca) where I share hundreds of book reviews and my favourite recipes. **
This is the kind of book that "grows" on you. You might buy it because of the reviews. You might buy it because of the description summary that sounds so mysterious and incredible. But when you read it, you find out it's a well written story about an orphan that you want to feel sorry for but don't because he doesn't feel sorry for himself. He just picks up and keeps going. He's grateful and good to the people who help him and that's what makes the difference as the story unfolds. It has several mysteries to resolve. What happened to his father? What happened to the brother? and as the review summary implied what's with the little girl on Alcatraz? This is a slow but wonderful read. I never got bored with it but it did not race to the end. (That is for those of you who want a lot of action and a fast read). It's just a story about a boys/mans life that has many interesting turns, some good, some bad, all of them woven with human decisions.
As a reader, finding a new remarkable storyteller is a joy. “The Edge of Lost†is the second novel written by Kristina McMorris that I’ve read and I’m pleased she happened along. Her work is compelling and moving, and her research into background material is remarkable. Research is essential if I’m to enjoy historical fiction.Shanley Keagan is a product of early 1900 Ireland. Life is not easy and early tragedies send him to the United States where, as a precocious 12-year old he begins making pennies in the dives and pubs of New York City. He works as a comedian and vaudevillian performer, getting quiet snickers and some limited notoriety. An Italian family takes him in to replace a son that died and he becomes a family member with the parents, their daughter, and son. He soon becomes Tommy Capello, being informally given a deceased boy’s name by the family.A crime leader who appreciates his work in the club also informally adopts him. The bad guy also employs his pseudo brother, who rises to be a high-powered capo.Family turmoil and unfortunate association with underworld figures eventually land Tommy on the Rock of Alcatraz Prison in San Francisco Bay. He has settled in for his long sentence when he discovers an escape has been planned for him and, because he has befriended the young daughter of a brutal prison guard he decides to attempt it, taking her along. That’s it for disclosing the storyline.McMorris does a masterful job of studying family relationships, the disturbing association of criminals, the culture of prison environment, and behavior of the upstanding when caught up in unsavory situations. The characters in her novel are realistic, complex, and driven by human behavior to which we can all relate. The pacing and continuity of her story never becomes too complex to weaken the reality. One must continue to read, ignoring other more pressing issues such as eating and sleeping.I strongly recommend that you pick up her books, settle in for an entertaining read, and return to your normal living pattern when the reading is completed. You’ll have much to contemplate.Schuyler T WallaceAuthor of TIN LIZARD TALES
