Book 7 - Emma Healey "Elizabeth Is Missing"

Emma Healey "Elizabeth Is Missing" (Penguin)







This is exactly what living with Alzheimer could feel like. One moment you have something and the next it slips away and it is off your mind. The contexts change rapidly and many things and concepts you understood and took for granted are not that easy to understand any more. The frustration and fear one feels can look aggressive from the outside, since your behaviour is not always in sync with what actually happens, but something that is going on in your head, or not even there. Emma Healey very skillfully utilises this idea, that works flawlessly all the way throughout the book. She weaves the past with the present at increasingly shorter intervals, until they are almost simultaneous, and thive reader can barely tell them apart, much like the main character. Excellent book, and a very unique definite pageturner.

'Elizabeth is Missing' is Emma Healey's first novel. It won the Costa First Novel award 2014 and was shortlisted for several other awards. I am not surprised.

In Faversham

I have popped over to Faversham to sell some unwanted books that i could not sell via Ebay. I received six pounds for them which isn't too bad. I need to reduce some more before the move, Yes , it is official , i MOVE on MONDAY.

Just Wondering

I love receiving packages , esp. books or CD's, so -

If you received a package -

What do you wish could be in it?

What would you not want to find in it?

If you could send anyone you have known a package, who would it be and what would you send?
