The Missing
by Juliet Bates
Description
Juliet’s skills as an artist and painter are reflected everywhere in this haunting, poetic novel. At the heart of the story is a journalist, Frances, who sets out on the trail of another possible Anastasia but whose own history makes as much of an appearance as the elusive duchess. The writing is rich and vivid; you can linger over descriptions of the twisting back streets of Paris and visualise the women who sew gloves and hats in a Paris atelier. Packed with atmosphere, there is a powerful sense of place as Frances’s own memories come back to haunt her.
"A deliciously descriptive book that questions the notion of memories and the idea of believing what you want to believe."
— Secluded Charm.
