We don’t get to the incident until the end, till then it goes back and forth to different summer holiday years, and most of the mystery and intrigue is served in this way.Brief Summary of Book: Tales from a Talking Board by Ross E. There is not much of a plot as such, just a central character Candence who is pretentious, privileged, and full of self-pity while trying to figure out what happened to her. But I guess that’s what makes this book unique. The sentence structuring and the lyrical writing in some places were a hit and in some places a miss, for me. The writing is different from most books. I will be honest here, it took me some time to understand the plot, but once I got the hang of it, the book was simply unputdownable.
All 4 Sinclair grandkids (cousins) call themselves Liars! And maybe, that’s just what they are.Īnd now, Cadence is back after two summers to reunite with her family, in the hopes of getting her memory back. The story of an accident, a secret, and lies. This is the story of a friendship that turns cataclysmic, of relations that become ruinous.
But on the 15th summer year of her vacation, something happens to Candence, the eldest of the Sinclair grandkids, an accident that results in her memory loss. And so it is that like every other perfect family, they have a vacation ritual.Įach summer the elaborate Sinclair family spends time on their private island. The Sinclairs are an ideal family, a well-respected and celebrated family who are not just wealthy but also perfect in every way possible. And by the end of it, I can only say that reading this one was a very different experience. This was one of those books that remain on your TBR for a long time.
Lockhart’s (a New York Times bestselling author and National Book Award finalist) writing especially in this book, so you can only imagine how intrigued I was by this YA Mystery. Expectedly, I too had heard a lot about E. Having won the hearts of both critics and readers alike, you can only imagine the buzz that the book created all over the internet. The book, released in 2014 has won many accolades including the Goodreads Choice Award for the Best Young Adult Fiction.
