Summary
Perfect for fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz and 1917
If someone you loved went missing, would you ever stop searching for them?
1921. The Great War is over and while many survivors have been reunited with their loved ones, Edie’s husband Francis has not come home. He has been declared ‘missing, believed killed’, but when Edie receives a mysterious photograph in the post, taken by Francis, hope flares. And so she begins to search.
Francis’s brother, Harry, is also searching. Hired by grieving families to photograph gravesites, he has returned to the Western Front. He too longs for Francis to be alive, so they can forgive each other for the last conversation they ever had.
And as Harry and Edie’s paths converge, they begin to get closer to a startling truth.
An incredibly moving account of an often-forgotten moment in history, The Photographer of the Lost is an epic novel of forbidden love, loss and the shattered hearts left behind in the wake of the First World War.
Caroline Scott is a freelance writer and historian specializing in WWI and women’s history. The Photographer of the Lost is partially inspired by her family history.

A very moving story.
A very sad morning book but also an informative one as well what is was like for the people of World War 1 and after it. Lest We Forget. The narrators were very good.

Bit slow
Far too much gazing at tummy buttons for my taste. Serious topic, makes you keenly aware of the sacrifices made, but as a previous reviewer says - slightly disappointing and just too long.

Mildly disappointed
I have to confess to feeling mildly disappointed in this book. I'm not sure why, perhaps I expected something different. It is interesting, and is different from most first world war books, but felt it lacked the emotions of something like Birdsong.

Interesting story but not an enjoyable read
The story is interesting and is about the war that isn’t often spoke about. I had never thought about the fallen soldiers graves, straight after the war and the people left behind to visit or see them. I see them now more than just a reminder. It took me a while to get through this book the story was interesting, slow places, but I didn’t find the story enjoyable but it’s right to be wrote like this.
