I love when books are told in present day and also in the past. Then She Was Gone reminded me a little bit of I Found You in the sense that we get chapters in the present day as well as in the past and we are told the stories of a few different characters I read Lisa Jewell’s book I Found You last year and I thought that it was amazing, so when this was a Book Of The Month pick I immediately got it. Where is Ellie and what happened to her? Who is keeping secrets and will Laurel ever know the truth? Poppy takes Laurel’s breath away because she looks so much like her own missing daughter, Ellie. Laurel is swept off her feet and soon finds herself staying the night at his house and meeting his daughter, Poppy. Ten years later, a stranger named Floyd walks into her mother’s life one day at a cafe. Her family was shattered and broken apart. The child an adolescent when we meet her describes these women placing herself very much on the outside, seeing herself as ‘other’ as she has not experienced the world as these women have, she does not hold memories of loves, children, jobs, school, relationships or objects. The women do not know how they came to be here, what event transpired, who is holding them, for what purpose or even if they are still on Earth, however after well over a decade (which can only be gauged by how old the child now appears to be) any such speculation has halted and the women have fallen into a ‘daily’ rhythm dictated by the artificial lighting, the changing of the guards and the arrival of food. Rules which the women only vaguely recollect from their early days in the bunker, of which the child takes as the status quo. The bunker is manned by guards that do not engage with each other nor with the women, except to crack their whips if a rule is broken, rules such as touch or harming oneself or others. We are first introduced to the women in an underground bunker, a bunker that has supposedly everything they need (aside from privacy) to survive. This is the story of 40 women (well it starts as 39 women and one small child) told from the perspective of the nameless child, our introspective guide throughout the book.

James Patterson’s astounding imagination has made him “a legendary novelist” (CNN). From out of nowhere, their father sweeps them up and drops them through a trapdoor into a storm cellar. In the shadow of Mount Hood, sixteen-year-old Tennant is checking rabbit traps with her eight-year-old sister Sophie when the girls are suddenly overcome by a strange vibration rising out of the forest, building in intensity until it sounds like a deafening crescendo of screams.
