The Lost Castle





The Lost Castle, written by Kristy Cambron, begins with Ellie Carver coming to check on her grandmother Vi, who is suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.  Vi’s eyes are very clear on this day, when she suddenly asks Ellie to go find the young man she lost years ago!

Ellie soon learns that her grandmother's story involves the Sleeping Beauty castle in the wine country of France.  As Ellie gets to know the characters associated with this castle, she has no idea what events will follow!!

This book was a bit difficult to read, as it kept jumping from one time period to another: from the French Revolution, to the days of World War II and finally to present day.  However, I was surprised that by the time I reached the final pages, I could not keep the tears from falling!

This book was definitely worth the read!

I received this book from Thomas Nelson in exchange for my honest review.
