    About this ebook

    Parisian archivist Hélène knows very little about her mother, Nathalie, who died when she was four. In the hope of learning more, she places a newspaper advert calling for information on Nathalie and two unknown men pictured with her at a tennis tournament in 1971. Against the odds, she receives a response from Stéphane, a Swiss biologist: his father is one of the people in the photo. More letters, and more photos, pass between them, in an attempt to unearth the truth their parents kept from them. But as they piece together events from the past, will they discover more than they can actually deal with? Winner of twenty-five literary awards, this dark yet moving drama deftly explores the themes of blame and forgiveness, identity and love.

      How A Writer Found Himself In A Missing Person Story

      Nov 27, 2021

      Despite the cold, it had been a decent day. Late March is sometimes like that in London. More winter than spring, the grass often still frozen half solid underfoot. It’s rarely a time that speaks too loudly of renewal. This year wasn’t any different,

      Gone! Just Like That...

      I’ve finally done it – and carefully photographed the contents of an album that was lent to me last year. To be honest it’s the third time I’ve photographed it, but the results just weren’t as crisp and clear as I’d have liked, so I tried and tried a

      SIR: I write in respect of the article ‘Gentleman’s Relish’ by Mark Palmer (Spring issue). I too was brought up in Reading in the 1950s, though not, as I suspect in Mr Palmer’s case, as a scion of the excellent company that manufactured biscuits righ

      In Search Of My Errant Grandfather

      The search (I thought) was to locate a bigamist grandfather that supposedly nobody knew anything about. I had seen his name once on my parent’s marriage certificate, in a drawer, but only fleetingly wondered why my dad had his mum’s maiden name and I
