Book Review: The Lost Child: A Mother's Story by Julie Myerson



Book: The Lost Child: A Mother's Story by Julie Myerson

About: Myerson weaves her research about a young woman who lived in Regency England with the tale of her own son's drug addiction.

Pros: The parts about her son are great.

Cons: This should have been two separate books. One about the girl and one about her son. 

Grade: C-

You Are the Newspaper




You are definitely a morning person. You love waking up to the new day. You think of mornings as a fresh start.

You like to take it slow in the mornings, but only because you love mornings so much. You savor this time.



You like all the rituals associated with the morning: making coffee or tea, taking a shower, getting the newspaper...

You could linger over the crosswords and breakfast for hours. And sometimes you do!
