The Disappearance of Emily Marr: From the Sunday Times bestselling author of OUR HOUSE

Product Information

That’s what drives me in what we do, but outside of advertising what would you say influences your way of working, and generally gives you inspiration? I was very young, very naïve and certainly not ready to be working with someone of his calibre but I remember how he included me, listened to me and patiently explained things so I could sound like I knew what I was talking about when I went back to my client!

The multiple viewpoints, and the setting, shifting from a posh street in London to a holiday town in France, and the jump from past to present kept the story moving at a fast pace and me turning pages. Emmie is virtually a hermit venturing out only to work so was it fate that bought Tabby to her door. In a small French town Tabby has become desperate, she has a broken heart and is pondering on some home truths and now she’s travelled from Paris to this unknown, quiet town with no money on a whim. Meanwhile, Tabby engages in her own affair with a married man, which also ultimately has tragic consequences, though admittedly Tabby is not quite as implicated in the fall-out as Emily was.I understand Candlish’s comment that, in real life, there would likely have been no answers, but ultimately, while we may read fiction that follows most rules of ‘real-life’, we also, mostly, crave the comfort of an ending, a resolution, of the clarity and finality that only fiction can provide. And, yet, not one of them suspects that his arrival in their lives might be anything other than accidental. And once it has started there doesn’t seem much that the object of our disgust can do except lay low and wait for the public to move onto a new target.

It is horrifying how quickly social media can turn on a person – this book illustrates this modern phenomenon but lets the reader draw their own conclusion as to whether it was warranted. But I need to like at least one character in a story and I neither liked the characters nor 'believed' in the premise of the story in The disappearance of Emily Marr. I think you’re a great example of a producer who is not only fully integrated, but who also has a clear point of view on the creative; very agile and always wants the finished product to be the best it possibly can be.He tells shots why production is finally heading to a good place – and how punk rock remains his passion. Arriving on the windswept Ile de R� off the coast of France, Tabby Dewhurst is heartbroken and penniless, unable even to afford a room for the night. Having realised how much I love Sarah Waters’ books following her latest, The Paying Guests, I have had the urge to re-read the earlier ones so I also have a copy of Fingersmith to read.
