but a really good book.
Don't buy this expecting the usual Maguire revisionary accounts of other people's stories. Despite the look of the book, and the blurb, this one has very little indeed to do with Dickens' Christmas classic. Instead, it's a well written and fascinating account of one woman's descent into madness, with the supernatural elements being discretionary at best.
Like Eco's Foucault's Pendulum, this is a supernatural thriller without any real need of the supernatural element. The closest comparison may be to the Glenn Close character from Fatal Attractions, told from her point of view.
Even if (or maybe especially if) you didn't care for Wicked, if you enjoy a tightly plotted and well written thriller, Lost is sure to impress.
