The end of getting lost : a novel / Robin Kirman.

Kirman, Robin, (author.).

Summary:

"The year is 1996--a time before cell phones, online status updates, and location tags--a time when you could travel to a remote corner of the world and disappear, if you chose to do so. This is where we meet Gina Reinhold and Duncan Lowy, a young couple of creatives, madly in love, traveling around Europe for their honeymoon. Or, Gina thinks it's her honeymoon--that's what Duncan has told her. She's just suffered a head injury while exploring the ruins of the Berlin Wall and now she can't remember the last year of her life. She can't even remember her mysterious accident, only waking up in the hospital with, thankfully, her beloved and doting Duncan by her side, ready to whisk her away to explore the world's most romantic locales. But in reality, Gina hasn't seen or spoken to Duncan in months. So why--and how--is he suddenly standing vigil at her bedside, miles from home and anyone they know? They seem madly in love now, but for how long can Duncan keep this charade alive, and how far will he go to keep Gina's past hidden from her? As they hop borders across Europe, the past catching them at every new destination, we see that Gina's memories might not be as elusive as her injury leads Duncan to believe... The End of Getting Lost is a literary thriller and a love story, a tightrope act of deception as much as it is an elegant exploration of love and marriage, and our expectations of both when mirrored against reality. With notes of Patricia Highsmith, Caroline Kepnes, and Lauren Groff, Robin Kirman has spun a delicious tale of deceit, redemption, and fighting for who and what you love-no matter the costs"-- Provided by publisher.

Summary

The End of Getting Lost : A Novel


Soon to be a major motion picture starring Margaret Qualley and Paul Mescal! A young woman and her husband travel around Europe to celebrate their first year of marriage--a year that the woman has no memory of--in this "wildly beautiful and darkly sinister" (Rosamund Lupton, New York Times bestselling author of Sister ) novel of intimacy and deceit. The year is 1996--a time before cell phones, status updates, and location tags--when you could still travel to a remote corner of the world and disappear. This is where we meet Gina and Duncan, a young couple madly in love, traveling around Europe on a romantic adventure. It's a time both thrilling and dizzying for Gina, whose memories are hazy following a head injury--and the growing sense that the man at her side is keeping secrets from her. Just what is Duncan hiding and how far will he go to keep their pasts at bay? As the pair hop borders across Europe, their former lives threatening to catch up with them while the truth grows more elusive, we witness how love can lead us astray, and what it means to lose oneself in love. The End of Getting Lost is a tightrope act of deception and an elegant exploration of love and marriage--as well as our cherished illisions of both. With notes of Patricia Highsmith, Caroline Kepnes, and Lauren Groff, Robin Kirman has spun an "atmospheric, lyrical" (Susie Yang, New York Times bestselling author of White Ivy ) tale of deceit, redemption, and the fight to keep love alive--no matter the costs.
