Format:Paperback
This is by far the best book I have read in a long time, since the last Susan Lewis novel I read. I loved the characters of Alicia and her children and Sabrina sounded very real as a schemer and drama queen, neglecting her daughter and husband. I can't wait for The Choice to appear next year and I'm sure it will just as good and worth the wait. Well done Susan great as always.

Susan Lewis has written her 22rd novel Lost Innocence which was published in 2009. I have written every one of her novels since she started writing back in 1988 and must say that she is an absolutely fantastic author.
This particular story introduces us to Alicia Carlyle and her children Nat and Darcie. Alicia has to make some huge changes following the sudden death of her husband Craig. Alicia grew up in Holly Wood which is where her brother Robert and his wife Sabrina live along with Sabrina's daughter Annabelle. When Alicia is forced to move back to her childhood home to start afresh she realises that things aren't going to be easy. She is going to have to face her sister-in-law who nearly wrecked her life and marriage. She also wants to try and build bridge with her brother Robert as things between them have been strained for over a year. When she does return at first it seems like life will bring her a brighter and better future with the introduction of a man who can help her career and a new home and schools for her children. At 17, Nat has decided to follow in his late fathers footsteps and go into law and his sister Darcie is looking forward to meeting the friends that she used to play with when she was younger. However before long all of their lives are shattered when Annabelle accuses Nat of a crime he says he didn't commit. The following months tell a very sad and tragic tale of two children locked in a battle over who is telling the truth. The truth is marred by the past involving both Sabrina and Alicia with Robert stuck in the middle. Will the truth come out, and more importantly who is telling lies and who isn't?
I must say that although I have been a huge fan of Susan Lewis, this latest book exceeded all expectations. She manages to write a fantastic book that really pulls at heart strings. She manages to write about situations that have probably happened across the world to many different people. She writes with feeling and emotion telling a truly sad tale. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and think that unlike other authors; her work seems to get better with every book she writes. I struggle to fit this book into a category as she doesn't fall into my opinion of `Chick Lit'. She writes books that touch a nerve and never fails to impress. HIGHLY recommended.

Have always found her books to be a bit hit and miss. Some have been a really good read, others I have abandoned part way through. I can honestly say that for me this is her best ever. Fantastic story which was totally believable. I loved the characters and was able to feel real sympathy for Alicia, for Nat, and even, in the end, for his accuser. I completely lost myself in the story whilst lying on my sun lounger on holiday, and even when getting ready to go out for the evening I had the hairdryer in one hand and the book in the other. Highly recommended.

Don't understand the glowing reviews
If you like well written "literary" books, don't read this one. It isn't. I didn't enjoy this at all and only read it because someone at my book club recommended it. Read more

Precocious teenagers?
An excellent read, somewhat reminding me of Jodi Picoult's "The Tenth Circle". That book was spoiled for me by the almost unbelievably precocious girl who cried "rape" whilst... Read more
