Ten years after her teenage daughter disappears, a woman crosses paths with a charming single father whose young child feels eerily familiar, in this evocative, suspenseful drama from New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jewell—perfect for fans of Paula Hawkins and Liane Moriarty.
Ellie Mack was the perfect daughter. She was fifteen, the youngest of three. She was beloved by her parents, friends, and teachers. She and her boyfriend made a teenaged golden couple. She was days away from an idyllic post-exams summer vacation, with her whole life ahead of her.
And then she was gone.
Now, her mother Laurel Mack is trying to put her life back together. It’s been ten years since her daughter disappeared, seven years since her marriage ended, and only months since the last clue in Ellie’s case was unearthed. So when she meets an unexpectedly charming man in a café, no one is more surprised than Laurel at how quickly their flirtation develops into something deeper. Before she knows it, she’s meeting Floyd’s daughters—and his youngest, Poppy, takes Laurel’s breath away.
Because looking at Poppy is like looking at Ellie. And now, the unanswered questions she’s tried so hard to put to rest begin to haunt Laurel anew. Where did Ellie go? Did she really run away from home, as the police have long suspected, or was there a more sinister reason for her disappearance? Who is Floyd, really? And why does his daughter remind Laurel so viscerally of her own missing girl?

当一个原本有无限可能性的好故事被作者毁掉时,真的是心痛。对这本书的美好回忆只能停留在50%.....
评分读完以后感慨故事里面的每一个人物都是悲剧:被绑架的大女儿,失去女儿的妈妈,童年被忽略的二女儿,被前妻纠缠的人,深爱着对方却从未真正被爱的女人,相互爱着对方却不能在一起的夫妇,一个个破损的家庭……每一个发生的悲剧都想让人谴责作俑者,但作者又让你看到作俑者背后又有着他自己的悲剧。节奏很快,没有咬文嚼字,没有很多人名要记,很适合当做英语读物!
评分我觉得不用强求猜不透结局,主要还是看人物怎么走到那里的。感觉英国小说没那么架空,人物更细腻,有一种奇妙的真实感,偶尔还会出现很有哲思的话。女主说人年轻的时候觉得自己一辈子不会变,但其实是fluid的。突然就释然了。结尾也很感动。四星因为有的地方还可以再说说但是没说完或者和我的逻辑不太符合,有点出戏。
评分像一块块拼图铺垫起来的故事 女性作家特有的细节感很多,有时觉得加分,有时觉得冗余
评分很好读,情节抓人,丝丝入扣。有种危情十日衍生剧的感觉...喜欢!你终于放过了自己。
