Elizabeth Is Missing
by Emma Healey
This is perhaps not the usual novel I would read but it was a gift from a dear friend. A great, flowing read with an unusual perspective from a narrative of an old lady with dementia. It can be quite ‘dreamy’ in the sense that mid-chapter and mid-paragraph the blur between past and present can make everything feel uncertain.
A clever writer and lots of charm! For me the repetitiveness of ‘Elizabeth is missing’ really got to me in the second half - although this is perhaps the whole point as we start to feel like her daughter Helen dealing with these same conversations over and over.
