A missing boy. A missing book. A missing husband. A woman who must find
them all to find herself. On the night Bernadette finally has the
courage to tell her domineering husband that she's leaving, he doesn't
come home.
Neither does Conor, the little boy she's befriended for the past five
years. Also missing is his lifebook, the only thing that holds the
answers. With the help of Conor's foster mum, Bernadette must face her
own past, her husband's secrets and a future she never dared imagine in
order to find them all.
Exquisitely told and deeply touching, The Mountain in My Shoe is both
a gripping psychological thriller and a powerful and emotive examination
of the meaning of family...and just how far we're willing to go for the
people we love.
