The Lost Village by Camilla Sten
Camilla Sten's The Lost Village gave all the creepy abandoned village vibes I was hoping for. Our main character is a filmmaker looking to create a documentary about an abandoned village that her grandmother grew up in. Her grandmother would tell her stories about the village and showed her letters from her family after she moved away. Inexplicably, overnight all the people in the village went missing except for a baby that was found alone. This filmmaker leads a team to try and explore the village and find any missing information.
The book was a great read and there were not very many moments where the story seemed to drag. I enjoyed the atmosphere that Sten created and felt as though I could see what she intended. While the atmosphere and main story line were amazing, I did feel as though there were some aspects that weren't for me. The main character was quite abrasive in her thoughts about other people but you could tell that this was a character that over thought every little interaction with another person. As someone with anxiety, it's understandable but not the most fun to read. The ending did leave me wishing there was a bit more explanation and maybe a bit of a twist that was unexpected. I have read other reviews where they loved the twists in this story but to me they seemed quite obvious with the evidence from the book and the hints were a bit heavy handed.
The Lost Village was a fun ride that is worth the time to read and had a few creepy moments in the book that are worthy of a read alone. Rating out of 5 stars, I would give this book a 3.

😯 l'epilogo mi ha lasciata senza parole 👉🏻 #lagovernantedimadamedelempicka La storia inizia nel 1914 a Pietrogrado. La sedicenne Rosalia viene mandata dalla madre a lavorare per gli Stifter. Loro hanno una nipote: Tamara, anche lei sedicenne. Attraverso gli occhi di Rosalia assistiamo alla nascita di una grande pittrice: #madamedelempicka ovvero #tamaragorska 👍🏻 Sullo sfondo della storia, la prima guerra mondiale, la seconda e le rivoluzioni in Russia. 👍🏻 La vita di Tamara viene descritta molto bene. È stato dato spazio non solo alla sua vita artistica ma anche a quella sentimentale, al suo ruolo come madre e donna famosa al centro della società parigina. Vediamo molte sfaccettature del suo carattere. 👍🏻 Tamara era una donna piena di passione, passione che riversava nelle sue opere e a volte sui modelli 😁 (non ci sono però scene spinte nel testo, è solo accennato). I suoi quadri o meglio i retroscena legati alla loro creazione, vengono narrati nel testo con leggerezza ed eleganza, senza descrizioni troppo lunghe o dettagliate. 👍🏻 Le ambientazioni sono multiple. Pietrogrado, Parigi, poi l'Italia e l'America. 👍🏻 La storia di una grande artista, narrata dalla sua governante. Una storia interessante e coinvolgente, mai prolissa o volgare. #tamaradelempicka #bookart #2021books #amicineilibri #antrodilibri #libridaleggereagiugno #stayconape #lombradibarbara #trovandolibri #amicandito #ilclubdeilettorifelici #baulett #amicineilibri https://www.instagram.com/p/CQwBRP-H488/?utm_medium=tumblr
