"A young, enigmatic woman-Lily Azerov-arrives in postwar Montreal expecting to meet her betrothed, Sol Kramer. When Sol sees Lily at the train station, however, he turns her down. His brother, Nathan, sees Lily and instantly decides to marry her.

But Lily is not who she claims to be, and her attempt to live a quiet life as Nathan Kramer's wife shatters when she disappears, leaving her baby daughter with only a diary, an uncut diamond and a need to discover the truth.

Who is Lily and what happened to the young woman whose identity she stole? Why did she leave and where did she go? It is up to the daughter Lily abandoned to find the answers to these questions as she searches for the mother she may never find or truly know."--Pub. desc.

Review of 'The imposter bride' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

with it's a soap opera title, i didn't expect much from this book so i was pleasantly surprised to have the plot move quickly from the imposter to her 6 year old child and to her future sister-in-law's family. the book was choppy - shifting backwards and forwards through time without much grace or warning. but i liked that at first, as if it was a new book every time and maybe i'd like this one better.
but ultimately, i felt nothing for these characters. an attempt for closure at the end of the book consisted of an unspoken understanding between the abandoned child and mother so i, the uninformed reader, am still in the dark. except, as i already stated, i don't care about any of the characters so i can't even muster outrage at the author's choice of ending.
