A gripping novel by the acclaimed master, Graham Joyce, tells of the disappearance of a girl from a small town in the heart of England. Her sudden return twenty years later—and the astonishing story of where she has been—will change how we perceive truth.
Twenty years after the disappearance of Tara Martin, her parents and her brother, Peter, could not accept the fact that she had vanished forever. Then, suddenly on Christmas Day, there was a knock at the door—and at the entrance stood a tousled Tara. A miracle, but Peter is troubled. Tara’s stories do not ring true. And what’s astonishing is that she looks exactly the same as on the day she disappeared.
Award-winning writer Graham Joyce is a master at exploring worlds that exist between reality and sleep, between the known and the hidden. “Some Kind of Fairy Tale” is a unique journey—magical yet, at the same time, realistic and unsentimental, like the world around us.
