Title: Elizabeth is Missing
Author: Emma Healey
Publisher: Penguin Books (UK)
Release date: 5th June 2014
Blurb from Goodreads:
'Elizabeth is missing' reads the note in Maud's pocket in her
own handwriting, and the one on the wall.
Maud's been getting forgetful. She keeps buying peach slices when she has a
cupboard full, forgets to drink the cups of tea she's made and writes notes to
remind herself of things. But Maud is determined to discover what has happened
to her friend, Elizabeth, and what it has to do with the unsolved disappearance
of her sister Sukey, years back, just after the war.
My Review:
*I received a copy of this book via Netgalley in exchange
for an honest review. Thanks to Penguin Books (UK) and Emma Healey*
3/5 stars
Elizabeth is Missing is the tale of forgetful Maud who is
adamant that her friend Elizabeth is missing. It mixes the present with the
past as Maud recalls memories of when her sister Sukey disappeared just after
World War Two.
Maud is an unreliable narrator which results in us finding
out Elizabeth’s fate at the end of the book.
This is an original and compelling story that will have you
rooting for Maud as she tries to find Elizabeth and will grip you emotionally
as a dark secret is revealed.
