When a bridge collapses in the Highlands of Scotland, dozens of commuters vanish into the freezing river below, swept by the currents toward the sea. A woman who had sold her car only hours before it fell, is presumed to be among the missing. Now she can begin life over.
Free from her past, she takes the name Annabel and begins living in a spartan cabin on the bank of the river. Here she meets Ron, the boatman, and Silva, an illegal immigrant whose predicament is compounded by the disappearance of her husband and their child. Together they create a fragile sanctuary in the shadow of the bridge that has changed their lives.
Among the Missing is a masterly novel about the invisible ties that bind us to our identities, to our histories, and to one another. Morag Joss spins a tale of damage and reparation, suspicion and salvation.”
