Review for This Must Be The Place by Maggie O'Farrell

 May be an image of text that says 'Maggie 'Farrell and hugel ifted, mbitlous breakou THIS MUST BE THE PLACE anovel MAGGIE O'FARRELL Author of The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox' 
Rating: 4.5 Stars!! 
Review: 
This was my first time reading a Contemporary Novel by Maggie so i wasnt sure what to expect but i have to say i expected it to be so much better then what it was. 

I felt like i had to rate it 4.5 which to be honest is abit too generous since The Storyline didnt pick up til Chapter 5 which was disappointing and there was NO Contemporary Element in it but more of a Historical Time Travel Novel with 15 Different Characters, 4 Different Countries and 3 Different States spanning 72 years from 1944 til 2016 which at times was VERY Confusing so in a way this book should of been part of a series with several different books souly based on each Character. 

The Characters were fun and enjoyable to read about. Claudette, Marithe, Lenny, Lucas,Teresa, Maeve,Ari, Nicola and Rosalind were all my favorites and i did love the way their stories intertwined with each other even tho it became confusing at times. 

The Setting was beauitfully described which made me feel like i was actually in all the different countries and states through the time eras. 

Overall an OK Contemporary Novel but could of been so much better. I will read more by Maggie in the future but hope all her other books are better then this one was.
