Why a Booktrail?
2000s: The mystery of a missing mother
2000s: The mystery of a missing mother
Gil’s wife, Ingrid has been missing, presumed drowned, for twelve years.
A possible sighting brings their children, Nan and Flora, home. Together they begin to confront the mystery of their mother. Is Ingrid dead? Or did she leave? And do the letters hidden within Gil’s books hold the answer to the truth behind his marriage, a truth hidden from everyone including his own children?
Not so much a booktrail but a landscape of a marriage and its secrets. There is mention of Hadleigh where the women seems to reappear….
This books is an homage to books, readers and writing – a trail of books and a series of letters tucked into their pages.
Letters addressed to the husband, alongside other random items also tucked away by various owners. At the bottom of each letter, the title of the book that it is hidden in is written and giving a clue to the contents of the letter.
