A haunting tale of family secrets and madness, as Esme Lennox emerges from decades in an asylum.
O'Farrell has written beautifully, capturing both the emotions of the characters and the atmosphere and social mores of the time with both accuracy and occasional flashes of humor. There are books that stay with us for a long time. The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox is one such book for me. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ THE AUTHOR: Born in Northern Ireland in 1972, MAGGIE O'FARRELL grew up in Wales and Scotland and now lives in London
