Oh, this book. It raises so many emotions! There are so many events, and the ending...

Anyway, I'm only giving this book a five because of the writing style.

***
Basically, it's about a girl in the early 1900s, I believe, who works in a factory. The news is all over a missing heiress, and then a new girl shows up having no clue how to run the factory tools but still needing a job.

Guess what happens.... anything else I say will be a spoiler.

This is a short post, because I don't have much time, but here:

Pros:
-Intricate plot
-Good female characters
-little romance
-intriguing passages

Cons:
-So depressing!
-boring at times
-inconclusive end, though satisfying

If you're in the mood for a story with a mystery and some depressing parts, read Lost.

Rating: 5 - Okay

At first, when Mum grabbed it at the library, I thought it looked stupid because the cover was HATS. But, then I turned to the back and melted, because it was something I'd thought about so often:

"It's like when you're on a street corner and somebody next to you says, "I lost a penny," you would take a look around and do your best to help them find it. Sure, you would. But if someone on that same corner says, "I lost a diamond ring," you would get down on your hands and knees and search 'til the sun came down. And the next day, you'd come back and start searching all over again. And then every time you passed that corner you'd think, "I wonder if the ever found that diamond ring," and I bet your eyes would wander to the ground and have another look. For years and years."

Isn't that awesome? It's on the back of the book, so I guess it has to be awesome, but still. Best passage in the whole book! 

This book is so sad, though! It flips perspective between past events with her sister to the current events with Harriet, the girl she meets, and it's so sad! 

It's kind of description heavy, though.
