The Lost
ByPublisher Description
In this “highly imaginative” novel, an award-winning author “pushes readers out of their comfort zones . . . [into] a deeply provocative fantasy world” (Booklist).
It was only meant to be a brief detour. But then Lauren finds herself trapped in a town called Lost on the edge of a desert, filled with things abandoned, broken and thrown away. And when she tries to escape, impassible dust storms and something unexplainable lead her back to Lost again and again. The residents she meets there tell her she’s going to have to figure out just what she’s missing==and what she’s running from—before she can leave. So now Lauren’s on a new search for a purpose and a destiny. And maybe, just maybe, she’ll be found. . . .
Against the backdrop of this desolate and mystical town, Sarah Beth Durst writes an arresting, fantastical novel of one woman’s impossible journey—and her quest to find her fate.
“This exuberant fantasy is finely crafted, filled with humor and very moving.” —Kirkus Reviews
