"Can we find happiness in another, without losing ourselves?"
Synopsis
Being Someone is a life story, a love story, a human story.
James has fallen through life, plotting a course of least resistance, taking each day as it comes and waiting for that indefinable something to turn up, to give his story meaning.
His journey lacks one vital element a fellow traveller.
Then he meets Lainey. Confident. Beautiful. Captivating. And James rewrites himself to win her heart.
Lainey gives James a reason to grow, paints a bright future, promises the happy ending he has sought so keenly.
But when we discover we can live the greatest story of all, are we able to share the pages with someone else?
Being Someone is an emotive tale of love, of self-discovery and adventure a story of the eternal search for happiness in another, without ultimately losing ourselves.
My Review
This is one book i just cannot say to much about as the spoilers would be too much, not in a big twist way but in how this story moves and the emotions we feel.
we open surprisingly in India with an elephant by the name of Iravatha.
Admittedly not the start I was expecting upon reading the blurb but the contrast between the settings of India and London gave me lots of insight into a culture that I've never really read about before and i loved it.
Especially the relationship of the elephant and his mamout. in turn this relationship shadowed the main relationship of the characters in the novel, James Townsend and his American wife, Lainey.
This book is a full emotional journey through the span of a relationship the ups and downs and how were grow and change, It was heart aching and heart breaking all at the same time.
Like I mentioned to say more would I feel spoil elements of the book, but I will say this was such a beautifully written tale.
