A book featuring a character with a hidden past.


Oooh mysterious! I have no idea what to read!!

I am, in fact, reading a book RIGHT NOW that would fit this perfectly. I'm not enjoying it, but I think it will appeal to the right reader. If you like character-driven meandering stories that float back and forth between past and present in a sort of stream-of-consciousness style, you may enjoy Amanda.


Listopia list is Here: A book featuring a character with a hidden past

Laura Ruth Loomis | 385 comments This is one of those prompts I don't have to plan for - I'm bound to stumble across one that fits.

Sasha  Wolf (sashajwolf) | 290 comments I think I'm going to read The Secrets of Blythswood Square for this one. As a bonus, it has a gorgeous cover that fits the gardening theme!

Kenya Starflight | 1032 comments The September House came up when I Googled this, so hoping it fits...

Eglė | 33 comments Big Little Lies, The Dinner Guest, and The Guest List would all fit well for this.

Like Laura, I don't think I'll plan for this as it will come up naturally.

Brandon Harbeke | 756 comments I should find one naturally, but I will recommend The Candymakers. It's one of the best all-ages books that I never hear anyone talk about.
