"...it's a superb book. Whatever the reader's hesitations, a wave of wanting to know does start building; it does become urgent that we see if Mayan ever finds her father and, if so, what happens next. And the portrait of Mayan that emerges is marvelous in its acuity and richness. "The thing I still love best about us, my mother and me," she says, "is that we wanted so." Ms. Simpson evokes precisely the gritty and visceral intensity of that need." Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Mayan (2)
Mayan Atassi--once Mayan Stevenson--returns in an immensely powerful novel about love and lovelessness, fathers and fatherlessness, and the loyalties that shape us even when they threaten to destroy us. Now a woman of twenty-eight and finally on her own in medical school, Mayan becomes obsessed with the father she never knew, leading her to hire detectives to dredge up the past, thus eroding her savings, ruining her career, and flirting with madness in a search spanning two continents.

I found myself caught up in Mayan's whirlpool of unresolved feelings for both parents. She knows she has "issues" but cannot manage get past them. As she is only 28 at the time of this writing, it is not difficult to understand her depression, anger and feeling of loss and abandonment.
I highly recommend The Lost Father . ( )
