The Vanishing of Margaret Small
The Vanishing of Margaret Small: An uplifting and page-turning mystery | Neil Alexander
3 posts | 3 read
Meet Margaret Small: 75, plain spoken and a Cilla Black super fan. Shortly after the death of her idol, Margaret begins receiving sums of money in the post, signed simply 'C'. She is convinced it must be Cilla, but how can it be? To solve the mystery of her benefactor Margaret must go back in her memories almost 70 years, to the time when she was 'vanished' to a long-stay institution for children with learning disabilities. An absorbing and page-turning mystery with a dual timeline, The Vanishing of Margaret Small takes readers into a fascinating past, and introduces an unforgettable literary heroine. Perfect for fans of Libby Page and Gail Honeyman.

Vanished into a institution as a child, Margaret navigates a world that is often cruel, but in which she finds so many small joys, finds friendship, and love.
A unique character with so many facets. She is charming, sweet, tough, and practical. And while labeled with a learning disability, the author has also imbued her with an innate intelligence and awareness.
A memorable story told with great sensitivity. #NetGalley #EmblaBooks
