Two Truths and a Lie. The girls played it all the time in their tiny cabin at Camp Nightingale. Vivian, Natalie, Allison, and first-time camper Emma Davis, the youngest of the group. The games ended when Emma sleepily watched the others sneak out of the cabin in the dead of night. The last she—or anyone—saw of them was Vivian closing the cabin door behind her, hushing Emma Two Truths and a Lie. The girls played it all the time in their tiny cabin at Camp Nightingale. Vivian, Natalie, Allison, and first-time camper Emma Davis, the youngest of the group. The games ended when Emma sleepily watched the others sneak out of the cabin in the dead of night. The last she—or anyone—saw of them was Vivian closing the cabin door behind her, hushing Emma with a finger pressed to her lips.
Now a rising star in the New York art scene, Emma turns her past into paintings—massive canvases filled with dark leaves and gnarled branches that cover ghostly shapes in white dresses. The paintings catch the attention of Francesca Harris-White, the socialite and wealthy owner of Camp Nightingale. When Francesca implores her to return to the newly reopened camp as a painting instructor, Emma sees an opportunity to try to find out what really happened to her friends.
Yet it's immediately clear that all is not right at Camp Nightingale. Already haunted by memories from fifteen years ago, Emma discovers a security camera pointed directly at her cabin, mounting mistrust from Francesca and, most disturbing of all, cryptic clues Vivian left behind about the camp's twisted origins. As she digs deeper, Emma finds herself sorting through lies from the past while facing threats from both man and nature in the present.
And the closer she gets to the truth about Camp Nightingale, the more she realizes it may come at a deadly price. ...more

While I loved creating Camp Nightingale and the characters who inhabited it, I'm happy with how I ended things. Rather than go back, I look forward to exploring new plots, new characters and new locations.(less)

Die meisies het dit in hul klein cabin by Camp Nightingale gespeel. Vivian, Natalie, Allison, en die eerste keer kampeerder Emma Davis, die jongste van die groep. Tot een aand toe Emma slaperig gekyk het hoe die ander in die nag uit die cabin gesluip het. Die laaste wat sy van hulle gesien het.
Emma is nou 'n opkomende ster in die New York-kunssone. Haar verbeelding word in skilderye - massiewe doeke gevul met donker blare en geklede takke, wat spookagtige vorms in wit rokke bedek. Die skilderye trek die aandag van Francesca Harris-White, die welgestelde eienaar van Camp Nightingale. Wanneer Francesca haar smeek om terug te keer na die nuut heropende kamp as skilderinstrukteur, sien Emma 'n geleentheid om te probeer uitvind wat werklik met haar vriende gebeur het.
Tog is dit dadelik duidelik dat alles nie reg is by Camp Nightingale nie. Reeds ontsteld deur herinneringe van vyftien jaar gelede, ontdek Emma 'n sekuriteitskamera wat direk by haar kajuit geplaas is, toenemende wantroue van Francesca en die grootste struikelblok: al die kriptiese leidrade wat Vivian agtergelaat het. Terwyl sy dieper grawe, bevind Emma haarself binne leuens uit die verlede, terwyl sy bedreig word deur beide die mens en die natuur in die hede.
En hoe nader sy die waarheid oor Camp Nightingale kry, hoe meer besef sy dit kan dodelik wees.
Wat 'n uitputtende boek! Ek het gedink die skrywer is 'n vrou, maar nou ja, net nog iets in die boek waaroor ek verkeerd was.
Wat my die meeste gepla het in die boek is die vergewingsgesindheid van die karakters. Emma verwoes Theo se lewe, maar hy vergewe haar. Sy hele gesin verloor bykans alles wat hulle besit as gevolg van haar optrede, maar hulle almal vergewe haar. Dis ook ongeloofwaardig dat ryk dogters jaar na jaar wil teruggaan na die somerkamp, terwyl hulle heeltyd net kla oor hoe sleg dit is, hoe sleg die kos is, hoe ongerieflik en warm dit is. Ook word nie al die vrae beantwoord nie. Hoe is die Franny-vrou se man dan dood as hy so goed kon swem maar verdrink het? Die soektog na die meisies was nie deeglik nie. Die pruikmakery was absurd. Die mal-word van Emma was belaglik.
Die "two truths and a lie" was vir my 'n oulike konsep. Die plot twists was insane! Ek het dit nie verwag nie. Die einde was vir my ontstellend. Ek sou anders opgetree het. Ek het ook die skilderproses van Emma baie geniet. 'n Groot deel van die boek karring net aan en dis regtig eers by ongeveer 60% wat daar iets begin gebeur het. ...more
