In 1957, Amaryllis August, the daughter of wealthy parents, disappears from her home. There is no ransom demand. Her body is never discovered. Will the truth about what happened to Amaryllis August on that fateful day ever be revealed?
The author was born in Yorkshire in the market town of Malton, and now lives in Suffolk. Retired, she enjoys walking, her head always abuzz with stories. In 2002, she wrote her first fantasy tale. The sequel followed almost two decades later. And now, The Disappearance of Amaryllis August, is her debut novel.
Pam is an excellent writer and the tale of Amarylis August is a gripping one. Normally read a book in a week or so, but this kept me enthralled and I forsook other things I needed to do to finish it in a day .
This book kept my attention throughout. It has an intriguing plot and was obviously well researched as it paid attention to details of the period.
I learnt from it, particularly about life in a mental institution before many were closed down. The main characters were well described and the complexities of relationships explored
The book is well written and deserves a wide readership.
One of best books I’ve read in a long time, couldn’t put it down & didn’t want it to end.
