Lost & Found

The word “gorgeous” seems to be thrown around somewhat casually in book reviews, but the occasion of finishing Lost & Found calls for its use.

This book is most of all gorgeous, but also charming, affecting, informative, varied, and a true testament to the power of vulnerability in writing.

Schulz has a knack for seamlessly interweaving the most personal of details with complex scientific facts and the history of Mt. Olympus. While this is exciting and interesting for the most part, it felt a bit overdone and as though its exemplifying the law of diminishing returns towards the end.

There were countless moments while I was reading this that I just had to stop and take a breath to fully engage with the text. I was moved by the at once complex and simple observations Schulz makes of the ebbs and flows of loss and love.
