The Disappearance Summary

The Disappearance by Genevieve Jurgensen

What do you do, how you do live, when your two precious daughters are killed - their lives ended by a drunk driver - at just four and seven years of age? Genevieve Jurgensen, a mother who lost her two daughters in just such a cruel, sharp fashion a dozen years ago, took her time, and then wrote down what happens, and how she carried on. Her account is a moving and powerful testament to the mark a life, however brief, however infant can make on the world. Without being sentimental this book aims to make you, the reader, for at least a passing instant, miss two lively little girls you never actually met and thus you have a sense of what it must be like for Jurgensen, to miss them every waking hour, every day, forever.

The Disappearance Reviews

'There is not one page, not one sentence, which does not touch your heart' Le Monde 'Shattering and remarkable thanks to its intelligence and lucidity' Elle 'This book is beautiful, modest and has a simplicity which is unbearable' Madame Figaro
