Description

After years of abuse, Bernadette makes the decision to leave her husband, only to find that he is missing... along with a little boy she'd befriended years earlier. A tense, dramatic and moving novel from the bestselling author of How To Be Brave and The Lion Tamer Who Lost.

'Full of beautiful descriptions, images and observations... hauntingly poignant, with a relentless tension and pace' Katie Marsh

'Moving, engrossing and richly drawn, this is storytelling in its purest form... mesmerising' Amanda Jennings

_______________

A missing boy. A missing book. A missing husband. A woman who must find them all to find herself.

On the night Bernadette finally has the courage to tell her domineering husband that she's leaving, he doesn't come home. Neither does Conor, the little boy she's befriended for the past five years. Also missing is his lifebook, the only thing that holds the answers.

With the help of Conor's foster mum, Bernadette must face her own past, her husband's secrets and a future she never dared imagine in order to find them all.

Exquisitely written and deeply touching, The Mountain in My Shoe is both page-turning psychological suspense and a powerful and emotive examination of the meaning of family... and just how far we're willing to go for the people we love.
