Book Feature - How Quickly She Disappears by Raymond Fleischmann
HBL Note: I’ve known a few twins in my life and their connection is strong and unique. Even if they hadn’t grown up together, I wouldn’t be surprised if they could finish one another’s sentences, have the same thought at the same moment, or even sense one another’s presence. In How Quickly She Disappears, Elisabeth’s twin sister disappears at the age of ten. Twenty years later, there is a break in the case and she can sense her twin sister calling to find her. How much will Elisabeth be willing to risk in order to find out what happened to her sister? Will she risk the safety of her family, especially her beloved daughter who reminds Elisabeth so much of her sister? Scroll down to read more.
From the publisher:
It's been twenty years since Elisabeth’s twin sister, Jacqueline, disappeared without a trace. Now thirty-year-old Elisabeth is living far from home in a small Alaskan town. She's in a loveless marriage and has a precocious young daughter she loves more than anything but who reminds her too much of her long-missing sister.
But then Alfred, a dangerous stranger with a plan of his own, arrives in town and commits an inexplicable act of violence. And he offers a startling revelation: He knows exactly what happened to Elisabeth's sister, but he'll reveal this truth only if she fulfills his three requests.
Increasingly isolated from her neighbors and imprisoned by the bitter cold and her own obsession, Elisabeth can almost hear her sister's voice saying, Come and find me. And so she will, even if it means putting herself—and her family—in danger.
