An entertaining, tantalising, and satisfying mystery. I was sent a proof by the publisher and I picked it up because I saw that Thompson Walker used Oliver Sacks' writings as inspiration - and I love his work. Jane O. is a patient of psychotherapist Dr. Byrd, when she suddenly disappears for three days and when she is found doesn't remember anything about where she was or what she did. Told through both Dr. Byrd's account of the case and Jane's diary entries written to her young son, what happened (and keeps happening) to Jane is slowly revealed. There is a speculative element to the resolution which I found completely satisfying. This will be published by Bonnier Books in March 2025.

Evie I can’t always put into words what I love about certain types of writing, but her writing reminds me of what I like about your work. It’s very different but I always feel connection. A reaching out, if you will.
