Thriller Psychological
From Vogue Amsterdam columnist Sarah
Meuleman comes a haunting, whip-smart debut novel about
second chances and the lengths one young woman will go to
keep her dark secrets sealed in the past. 1996. In the sleepy hamlet of
Bachte-Maria-Leerne, in the Belgian countryside,
the residents are reeling from the disappearance of several
young girls. The country is thrown into a state of emergency
and even after the killer is apprehended, not all the girls
missing are found alive, causing further alarm and political
protests in the form of White Marches. At the local school, St. Martin’s High, the devastating news
is met more with morbid fascination than fear among its
students—except for twelve-year-old Sophie. Unlike her
peers, Sophie knows what it’s like to be afraid and never
truly feel safe. The only time she feels a sense of security
and belonging is when she’s with her best friend Hannah… if
only she could confide her darkest secrets to the girl she
admires… the girl whose home life is so very different from
Sophie’s… the girl whom Sophie wishes she could be more like. When Hannah begins hanging out at a popular teenage club
“The Sloop” and starts dating the charming and clever
Damian, Sophie suddenly feels left out. With each day,
Sophie notices Hannah drifting farther from her. Before the
friends can reconcile, the village is thrown into fresh
panic when Sophie fails to return home after a high school
dance—and is never seen again. 2014. Hannah is living the life most young women
dream of as a successful columnist for a fashion magazine in
New York City. But after years of being the party reporter,
documenting the revelries of the rich and famous, she craves
a deeper subject for her writing. Quitting her job and
leaving her former glitzy Manhattan lifestyle for a run-down
apartment in Brooklyn, she spends her days writing a
biography of three famous authors: Agatha Christie, Barbara
Follett, and Virginia Woolf—three women who struggled with
family, loyalty, and ambition… three women who one day
disappeared without a trace. As Hannah delves into her research and the lives of these
luminaries, she’s forced to confront questions she’s tried
so hard to repress. What happened to Sophie that night? How
does a person just go missing, never to be heard from again?
Taking readers on an exhilarating journey from the Flemish
countryside to New York, Find Me Gone is equal
parts thriller and tender coming-of-age story that will
leave readers wondering until the final page… What happened to Sophie?
