Por un golpe del destino, ¿podría uno empezar de nuevo y borrar el pasado? Cuando un accidente suprime la memoria de Hazel los últimos tres años, desaparece también la última pelea que tuvo con su novio. Ahora sólo sabe que Jonathan lo ha dejado todo para cuidarla. Y se ha convertido en su prisionera virtual. Una novela en el Londres contemporáneo sobre el inquietante lugar donde termina el amor y comienza el peligro.

Following the acclaimed Criminals comes a spellbinding new novel that confirms Margot Liveseys place "right up there," as Liz Smith wrote in the Philadelphia Inquirer, "in the realm of P. D. James and the esteemed Patricia Highsmith."What if -- by stroke of fortune -- you could start afresh, could wipe away that catastrophic blunder in your past? And to what lengths would you go to establish that in fact youd done nothing wrong at all? After an accident robs Hazel of three years worth of memory, just such an opportunity is granted to Jonathan, undone by his betrayal of this woman, whom he professes to love above all. While he begins to rewrite their history, two other misfits -- an American sojourner and a luckless English actress -- knock about London, each of them haunted by indelible memories they would much rather forget. Eventually their hopes of redemption draw them toward Jonathans house, where Hazel has become a virtual prisoner . . .Replete with compelling characters and extravagantly plotted, The Missing World weaves together these separate quests for love and truth in a manner both thrilling and, ultimately, revealing about our imperfect lives.

In The Mill on the Floss, George Eliot re-creates her own childhood through the story of the wild, gifted Maggie Tulliver and her spoiled, selfish brother. Though tragic in its outcome, this tenderly comic novel combines vivid vignettes of family life with a magnificent portrait of the heroine and an acute critique of Victorian sexual politics. Eliot had no peer when it came to finding the drama at the heart of normal lives lived in tandem with the gigantic rhythms of nature itself, and in The Mill on the Floss she shows us once again how thoroughly the art of fiction can satisfy our deepest mental and emotional cravings.
