Claire doesn’t hear from her daughter often. After Lindsey moved to Shanghai to teach English with her boyfriend, their communication dwindled. The only person Lindsey still confides in is her much younger sister Grace, whom she adores. While Grace is away at summer camp, Claire is still figuring out how to live alone. Although its been four years Claire and Aaron’s divorce fractured the entire family and it sometimes feels like things will never be okay again. Having grown up in a well-to-do town in Massachusetts Lindsey was an extremely intelligent girl with bright beautiful red hair. Dropping out of college was the last thing anyone imagined Lindsey would ever do. When she moved to China it was as if they lost her forever. One day Claire’s phone rings and she receives a message no parent could imagine. Lindsey has been in a horrible hit and run accident and is in the hospital. Racing to her bedside, Claire and Aaron can barely face each other. At a literal loss for words, everything in China is difficult as they assess the situation and wait for Lindseys recovery. In this overwhelmingly busy city we piece together Lindsey’s tragic story, of a lost girl who could have had it all. Highly recommend this extremely well written, heartrending novel that reminded me a lot of The Expatriates. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
