But, who better to know how a woman should act than a man? Daniel SanchezArevalo does an excellent job of crawling into a woman's psyche. Alice comes off as a sympathetic character who behaves in a understandably bizarre way. After all, she just lost her husband whom she had complete trust in, never given any indication to doubt him, to find out hes been lying to her for years! My only objection so far, is that the grandparents would have acted totally different. After all, they are my age. The grandchildren of a dead beloved son would not be whisked off to an island without some serious interference from the grandparents. And one other observation...he owned a business on the edge I'd striking it big! He had expenses, payrolls, materials, overhead...etc etc et . He had to have an accountant. He could not not have receipts. But then, there would not be a book, would there? The ending was slightly uninteresting and I skipped and skimmed over the "reveal ". Didn't need to read it. Okay book. (  ) Alphawoman | Apr 29, 2019 | ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Distinctions
A happily married woman's perfect life shatters when her husband turns up dead hundreds of miles away from where he should have been, and she suddenly discovers that there was a part of him she knew nothing about. Alice Dupont's perfect marriage was a perfect lie. When her husband, Chris, dies in a car accident, far from where he should have been, Alice's life falls apart. After the police close the case, she is left with more questions than answers. While learning to cope with her loss and her new identity as a single mother of two, Alice becomes obsessed with unraveling the mystery surrounding her husband's death and decides to start her own investigation. Retracing her husband's last known whereabouts, she soon discovers clues that lead her to a small island near Nantucket. As she insinuates herself into the lives of the island's inhabitants in an effort to discover what they knew about her husband, Alice finds herself increasingly involved in their private lives and comes to a disturbing realization: she has been transformed into a person she no longer recognizes. In seeking an answer to what her husband was doing before he died, Alice discovers not only a side of him she never knew, but sides of her own character she has never explored. Part mystery, part moving family drama, part psychological page-turner, Alice's Island is a novel whose vivid characters hold the reader rapt right up until the final page.

Novela Drama
Cuando Chris muere en un accidente de coche sospechosamente lejos de donde debía estar, la vida de su mujer, Alice, con una niña de seis años y otra en camino, se desmorona. Incapaz de asumir la pérdida y con el temor de que tal vez su relación perfecta haya sido una mentira, se obsesiona con descubrir de dónde venía Chris y qué secreto escondía. Reconstruye el último viaje de su marido con la ayuda de las cámaras de seguridad de los establecimientos por donde este había pasado, hasta llegar al epicentro del misterio: Robin Island, en Cape Cod, Massachusetts, una pequeña y, solo en apariencia, apacible isla que modificará profundamente a Alice mientras busca respuesta a la pregunta: ¿Qué hacía Chris en la isla? La isla de Alice oscila entre el thriller y el viaje emocional. Una historia de superación y una peripecia absorbente y cautivadora.
