What a fantastic book! Cleverly written too.
Helen Cooper wakes up, gets dressed, takes the kids to school, comes home and puts the breakfast things away, makes sure there's enough food in the fridge and freezer and then grabs her handbag, leaves the house and never returns.
If you were her husband what would you do? Well this is a story about just that. Helen's husband Sam finds himself in a nightmare situation; his wife has left for no apparent reason, has no idea where she has gone, practically disappeared off of the face of the world, the kids are beside themselves and acting up because of it, and on top of this he's on the brink of losing his job. This is a story about how life can turn upside down in the blink of an eye, that not everything is how it seems and that you really don't know someone as well as you thought you did.
If there is one thing you can take away from this book, it would be never give up dreaming.
