I was wandering around Sainsburys at the weekend and very nearly picked up the paperback version of Emma Healey’s Elizabeth is Missing. I would have bought it if I didn’t already have a dozen books on my to read pile! It looks interesting:
Maud is forgetful. She makes a cup of tea and doesn’t remember to drink it. She goes to the shops and forgets why she went. Sometimes her home is unrecognizable – or her daughter Helen seems a total stranger.
But there’s one thing Maud is sure of: her friend Elizabeth is missing. The note in her pocket tells her so. And no matter who tells her to stop going on about it, to leave it alone, to shut up, Maud will get to the bottom of it.
Because somewhere in Maud’s damaged mind lies the answer to an unsolved seventy-year-old mystery. One everyone has forgotten about.
Everyone, except Maud…
I’m intrigued! Have you read it?
