'She is one of America's greatest writers' Andrew Sean Greer,
Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Less
______________________________________ 'In the first few months
after Charlie died, I began hearing from her much more frequently'
Helen Clapp is a physics professor. She doesn't believe in
pseudo-science, or time travel and especially not in ghosts. So
when she gets a missed call from Charlie, her closest friend from
university with whom she hasn't spoken in over a year, Helen thinks
there must be some mistake. Because Charlie died two days ago. Then
when her young son, Jack, claims to have seen Charlie in their
house just the other day, Helen begins to have doubts. Through the
grief of the husband and daughter she left behind, Helen is drawn
into the orbit of Charlie's world, slotting in the missing pieces
of her friend's past. And, as she delves into the web of their
shared history, Helen finds herself entangled in the forgotten
threads of her own life. Lost and Wanted is a searing novel from
one of America's most exciting writers about the sacred knottiness
of female friendship, the forces which fuse us together and those
which drive us apart. _______________________________________
