A Kind of Vanishing by Lesley Thomson
A spellbinding mystery of obsession and guilt by Lesley Thomson, this is also the poignant story of what happens to those left behind when a child vanishes without a trace.
It is the summer of 1968, the day Senator Robert Kennedy is shot. Two nine-year-old girls are playing hide-and-seek in the ruins of a deserted village. Alice has discovered a secret about Eleanor Ramsay's mother and is taunting the other girl. When it is Eleanor's turn to hide, Alice disappears.
Years later, an extraordinary turn of events opens up shocking truths for the Ramsay family and all who knew the missing girl.
