The Disappearances

De: Emily Bain Murphy

Narrado por: Devon Sorvari

Aila Quinn's mother, Juliet, has always been a mystery. Vibrant yet guarded, she keeps her secrets beyond Aila's reach. When Juliet dies, Aila and her younger brother, Miles, are sent to live in Sterling, a rural town with mysteries of its own. In Sterling, the experiences that weave life together - scents of flowers and food, reflections from mirrors and lakes, even the ability to dream - vanish every seven years. No one knows what causes these Disappearances or what will slip away next. But it has always been suspected that Juliet was somehow responsible, so Aila, bearing the brunt of that blame, follows the chain of literary clues her mother left behind. As the next Disappearance nears, Aila begins to unravel the dual mystery of why the Disappearances happen and who her mother truly was. One thing is clear: Sterling isn't going to hold on to anyone's secrets for long.

great story

Something about this story. I couldn't stop listening. GREAT characters, solid storyline, some twists and surprises, small town familiarity. Very much worth the listen!

Highly clever and unique with characters to love and a satisfying ending.

Though the story takes time to unfold, the interesting, endearing characters and the mystery kept me listening. The time it took to get invested made the ending all the more satisfying!

I loved this book!

Interesting story and characters, narrator was great. Just a wonderful read! The 1940’s timeline was refreshing, no swearing.

My new favorite book! Highly recommended!

This book is just what I was wanting! So much vivid description I'm almost in the book! I highly recommend this book because it is filled with mystery, love, and feelings! I look forward to reading this book again!!

Such a satisfyingly good novel!

Emily Bain Murphy suspends clever ideas so well and threads them effortlessly, including strange happenings and divergent timelines that seem at first unrelated. It’s a wonderful magic trick to bring it all together so well. The book kept me entranced and guessing. Not to mention, the writing was stellar.

Great story.

I thought the story was great. I had a hard time with the narrator, she was very flat.

Always

Such an amazing book!!!!! I loved it so much and it will stay with me always.

Really enjoyed

I enjoyed this book, I will say that I almost gave up in the beginning because I am not generally inter in books set in the 1940’s and I didn’t realize that this was the case with this book. I am so glad I stuck it out.

Very much enjoyed

Officially added to my favorite authors and novels list. Thank you for the good mystery.
