About this book
Everything is a bit jumbled in Maud's head, but she won't let go of one thing: Elizabeth has vanished. Her daughter keeps assuring her that all is well, yet it's written there on one of those scraps of paper meant to help her remember: her old friend and neighbour, Elizabeth, has disappeared. Just as Sukey, her beloved older sister, did sixty years earlier. Is Maud mixing up the two times? Yet isn't there just as much mystery surrounding her now as there was then?
Despite the illness devouring her memory, Maud questions the present and probes the past, searching for the truth before everything is erased.
