My review:

The cover of All the Lost Places is gorgeous, as I imagine Venice to be. 

Amanda Dykes slowly builds the scene for All the Lost Places. Her attention to detail and ability to paint the scene is remarkable. She includes a fair amount of history as she weaves the story.

I did not connect to the characters, and I had a hard time following the two stories, especially once Daniel starts translating. It was a huge disconnect for me, not a problem I typically have with dual timelines. 

All the Lost Places takes the reader on a journey of self-discovery. It is a thought-provoking story of exploration, second chances, and redemption.

Thank you to Bethany House for the opportunity to read this book. I was not required to provide a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Synopsis (Goodreads):

 Discovered floating in a basket along the canals of Venice, Sebastien Trovato wrestles with questions of his origins. Decades later, on an assignment to translate a rare book, Daniel Goodman finds himself embroiled in a web of secrets carefully kept within the ancient city and in the mystery of the man whose story the book does not finish: Sebastien.
