Recommended by Barb Sampson

Barb takes care of the web orders here at Boffins, and is your contact for book club enquiries. She spends all her spare time curled up on the couch reading and for the last several years has reviewed books on the Afternoon Program on ABC radio Perth.

Twelve years after she vanished from a beach, Gil Coleman believes he sees his wife Ingrid in the street. Giving chase, Gil has an accident and is hospitalized. This brings his daughters Nan and Flora home to care for him and Flora believes her mother might in fact be alive, but Nan thinks it is utter nonsense. As they face the reality of their father's condition, the girls confront the memories of their childhood. At the same time, the story of Gil and Ingrid's marriage unfolds in a series of letters hidden away in books throughout the house. This is such engrossing storytelling from Fuller. Present and past stories are interwoven to reveal a family drama full of secrets, lies and half truths. Each new revelation pulls you further and further into the story as you try and work out exactly what did happen to Ingrid all those years ago.
