The Nowhere Child

I very much enjoyed The Nowhere Child by Christian White, an Australian author's first book.  In Melbourne a young woman, Kim, is confronted by a man, who believes she is his sister who was abducted 28 years before in Kentucky.  At first Kim is sceptical but then agrees to travel with her "brother" to the town from where the child was abducted.  The story is well told.  In alternating chapters, we have the "Now" and the "Then" where the reader learns the story of the abduction in the "Then" chapters and what is happening as the story unfolds in the "Now" chapters.  This was a good writing device, the "Now" told by Kim and the "Then" in the third person.  Is Kim really the abducted child and if so, why?  Highly recommended. 5/5
