Welcome to the Great Mysterious (Ballantine Readers Circle) by Lorna Landvik - Hard to put down, Love the epilogue!

Megastar of stage, screen, and television, Geneva Jordan now has a command performance in Minnesota, where she agrees to look after her thirteen-year-old nephew, a boy with Down syndrome, while his parents take a long overdue vacation. Though Geneva and her sister, Ann, are as different as night and day (I being night, of course, dark and dramatic), Geneva remembers she had a family before she had a star on her door. But so accustomed is she to playing the lead, finding herself a supporting actress in someone elses life is strange and unexplored territory. Then the discovery of an old scrapbook that she and her sister created long ago starts her thinking of things beyond fame. For The Great Mysterious is a collection of thoughts and feelings dedicated to answering lifes big questions?far outside the spotlights glow. . . .

Hard to put down, Love the epilogue!
This is my second Lorna Landvik book, and once again I was very pleased.
I feel it is a waste to repeat story lines/plots that you can find in most reviews, so I will just say that this book is hard to put down. I ended up reading it in one day!
One of the things I like most about this book (and the other Landvik book I have read so far), is that when you are finished with the book you feel satisfied. This is in part due to great story content, but I also love the fact that the author included an epilogue. No matter how much I like a book, and no matter what the ending is, I usually wonder about what happens next for these fictional characters. The epilogue scratches that itch, while leaving room for sequels should the author ever decide to go in that direction. I look forward to reading more from Landvik!
