Amidst the growing uncertainty of her whereabouts, a shocking murder-suicide at a local farm diverts police attention, pushing Rebecca's disappearance into the shadows.
But one person refuses to let her memory fade - her younger sister, Eliza.
For 40 years Eliza relentlessly pursues answers in the face of such a heart-breaking, personal mystery.
Gone (Bantam Australia, $34.99, February 6) is a spellbinding narrative that delves deep into the complexities of grief, resilience, and the enduring bonds of family.
A captivating story set in the highlands of rural Victoria, Glenna Thomson has crafted a mystery that will keep you guessing until the final page.
Talking points:
- Glenna's research led her to Loren O'Keeffe, the founder of The Missed Foundation and the producer of What's Missing podcast. She used this information to understand the complexities of 'ambigous loss'.
- Glenna grew up on an apple orchard and later lived on a large cattle property in rural Victoria, allowing her to write authentically about rural life.
- Gone is Glenna's first crime novel after publishing two family dramas.
About the author
