In a small college town in Pennsylvania the lives of a bigamist's wife, a Polish orphan an ex-priest and his wife -- a former nun -- and a mute teenage runaway intersect. The Season of Lost Children explores the question of what constitutes family and finds that the answer is often closer than we think, if only we look with and within our hearts. Although The Season of Lost Children can be enjoyed on its own, it is the second volume in The Fenston Trilogy, which began with A Trick of Light. The series traces fifty years of the interwoven lives and friendship of three women in a bucolic Pennsylvania college town. The Season of Lost Children focuses on the life of the eccentric former nun, Eleanor Roderi.

This review is from: The Season of Lost Children (Paperback)
This is the second book in a planned trilogy. Both this and the first (A Trick of Light) take the very "tricky" topic of bigamy and weave it into a story of great insight and character development as they delve into very real portrayals of human nature.The interaction of the characters over a period of time allows the reader to become acquainted as if friends. The connection is strong and I eagerly await the third book to see how the tension and story resolve. The book has humor, pathos, love, hate, connection, friendship and family - all the components of a really good story.

Hold this story in your heart, pass it with your hands cupped,

I love Karen Blomain's sense of character and place! She knows how to weave a good story, too. Things "happen" in this book, but it is the people who experience them that carried me along. They are very human! Her description of an elderly nun being bathed by a young novice, a scene that opens the book, is real and palpable. This book is the second in a trilogy about three women from a small pastoral town in Pennsylvania called Fenston. I can't wait for the third installment to see how these special women (and friends and lovers and children) evolve. Blomain is amazing at revealing a path to redemption when the heart is true and good.

Great Read !,
This review is from: The Season of Lost Children (Paperback)
I finally found a book I couldn't wait to turn the pages! (And I had a hard copy in my hands!) Karen Blomain's "The Season of Lost Children" features engaging, thought provoking and sometimes quirky characters who reveal their sensitive stories with more twists and turns than many popular mysteries. Blomain's fertile imagination had me wondering who would show up next, where, with whom and why in a fast moving plot that never slowed. Her poetic and highly visual descriptions painted detailed word pictures. If I had highlighted all the phrases and metaphors I wanted to read again, I would have underlined half the book. I started with this second book in her Fenston Trilogy and it was no problem. I've downloaded the first, "Trick of Light", and can't wait to begin. Lucky for us Blomain groupies, we've got a third book coming out in the future. "Season of Lost Childlren" is a GREAT read! Virginia F
