Description

'Vivid, beguiling and needle-sharp. An unmissable literary thriller' Lucy Rose

'Rich and evocative, slippery and strange. I was hooked from the very first page' Chloë Ashby

What happens when the missing don't want to be found?

One morning, a teacher vanishes into the woods. As whispers fill her classroom, she melts into a shadowy wilderness, where the air hums with ancient birdsong and a blanket of moss covers her tracks.

Back in town, the mystery deepens. Who is Silvia really? An inscrutable misfit without a husband, devoted to her students until tragedy strikes. When a young boy stumbles upon her hiding place, it seems the search may be over. But is Silvia ready to return?
