Sinossi
Autumn 2007. A woman disappears from the small provincial market town where she has lived a quiet respectable community life, raising her family, for years. She leaves behind few clues as to why she might have vanished, or where to. Her absence sends out ripples that begin to connect its diffuse citizens; her daughter, a young dangerously dreamy mother of two, an museum archivist and her 'complicated' partner, a secret, furious blogger whose supposedly secret posts are attracting global interest, and a bemused City risk analyst, each with problems, conflicting desires, joys and confusions of their own. The disappearance begins to implicate and involve them all.
This is a novel about what it means to say you want 'the quiet life' in the modern world, about the contracts we enter -- love, marriages, houses and work, about community, nostalgia and neighbourliness.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Tacita is pretending to ignore her husbands affair. Stella cant imagine wanting any more than she has. Theresa is determined to stay so busy, she wont have time to feel guilty. Zeki hopes no-one will find out what hes up to. Jonathan imagined the family running through the woods in their wellies not the solitary bottles of whisky on the commuter train. And Sheila, a widower, mother and grandmother has disappeared. If only people were more honest about themselves and the people around them. In a small English town, everyone is struggling to be the person they think they should be: casting spells, making justifications, willingly deluded. But sometimes the pressure of being the perfect - or not perfect, just good - wife, husband, lover, mother or daughter, is overwhelming. Everyone needs to find an outlet. Sometimes its easier to be honest with strangers. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine.
