Elizabeth is Missing |
Maud thinks her friend Elizabeth is 'missing', but her short-term memory is unreliable and her life is littered with notes written to herself. However her long-term memory is very clear and the unsolved mystery of her missing sister Sukey, seventy years ago, begins to unfold when - while looking for Elizabeth - she finds a piece of broken powder compact in the garden. Narrated by Maud, darkly humorous, clever and very enjoyable.
