Description
When Maud's best friend Elizabeth vanishes, she becomes obsessed with uncovering the truth—but no one believes her concerns because she suffers from dementia. As her memory deteriorates and she relies on handwritten notes scattered throughout her home, Maud's desperate search for Elizabeth awakens haunting memories of another unsolved disappearance from her past: her sister Sukey, who vanished shortly after World War II. Caught between a fragmenting present and a tragic past, Maud must navigate whom to trust when she can barely trust her own mind. This darkly riveting psychological mystery explores the unreliability of memory while delivering genuine suspense, poignancy, and unexpected wit. Emma Healey's stunning debut is a page-turner that reminds us how profoundly our memories shape our identities—and what happens when they begin to slip away.
