An elderly woman named Maud descending into dementia embarks on a desperate quest to find the best friend she believes has disappeared. Her search for the truth will go back decades and have shattering consequences . . .
A darkly riveting debut novel, Elizabeth Is Missing is at once a sophisticated psychological mystery, as well as a heartbreakingly honest meditation on memory, identity, and aging in a moving portrait of love and memory that takes readers from post-war Britain to the present day.
"Elizabeth is Missing is an investigation into a seventy-year-old crime, through the eyes of the most likeably unreliable of narrators, but the real mystery at its compassionate core is the fragmentation of the human mind." -- Emma Donoghue, author of Room, The Wonder, Pull of the Stars, and Akin
