Elizabeth is Missing

BOOK DESCRIPTION

How do you solve a mystery when you can’t remember the clues? Maud, an aging grandmother, is slowly losing her memory – and her grip on everyday life. Yet she refuses to forget her best friend Elizabeth, whom she is convinced is missing and in terrible danger.

But no one will listen to Maud – not her frustrated daughter Helen, not her caretakers, not the police, and especially not Elizabeth’s son, Peter. Armed with handwritten notes she leaves for herself, Maud resolves to discover the truth and save her beloved friend.

This singular obsession forms a cornerstone of Maud’s rapidly dissolving present, but the clues she discovers seem only to lead her deeper into her past, to another unsolved disappearance: her sister, Sukey, who vanished shortly after World War II. A darkly riveting, heartbreakingly honest debut about memory, identity, and aging.
