Book of Lost Threads

I thoroughly enjoyed Book of Lost Threads by Tess Evans (a brilliant first novel). The story centers on a number of characters in the small Australian fictional town of Opportunity. All the characters are connected to the main character Finn, who as a young man then known as Michael, was paid to be a sperm donor for a lesbian couple, Linsey and Amy. Many years later the daughter of that union, Moss, lands on Finn's doorstep to get to know him after learning his identity. All these wonderful characters have a secret or are "damaged" in some way and the different threads of their individual stories are finally tied together at the end. They are so well drawn that the reader really comes to know them and feel for them. Lily's story of her tea cosies is a delight. Highly recommended. 5/5
