DISAPPOINTMENT
LOSS
JOY and BELONGING Selby aches to disappear, so makes a bid for freedom. But someone else vanishes instead. She moves from a grey marriage through pain and grief to emerge among people who offer acceptance and warmth.
Edmund evaporates like a ghost from a harrowing location. But the place he moves to is nothing like his dreams and desires. He receives help, advice and approval from virtual strangers, and claws his way through mistakes and foolishness to sense and satisfaction. Not a love story, but about love.
LOSS
JOY and BELONGING Selby aches to disappear, so makes a bid for freedom. But someone else vanishes instead. She moves from a grey marriage through pain and grief to emerge among people who offer acceptance and warmth.
Edmund evaporates like a ghost from a harrowing location. But the place he moves to is nothing like his dreams and desires. He receives help, advice and approval from virtual strangers, and claws his way through mistakes and foolishness to sense and satisfaction. Not a love story, but about love.
Not a romance, but supremely romantic. Edmund and Selby are connected. Are time, history, pain and the inexorable pull of kinship enough to bring them together? How to Disappear is a novel in two parts. It links two lives; it shows how confusion and loss need the hand of chance to develop into enduring affection. The stark, poetic language ... is mesmerizing and convincing. Lissa V. Fairbairn
