Synopsis
Delia Hopkins has led a charmed life. Raised in rural New Hampshire by her widowed father Andrew, she now has a young daughter, a handsome fiance, and her own Search and Rescue bloodhound - which she uses to find missing persons. But as she plans her wedding, she is plagued by flashbacks of a life she can't recall. Then a policeman shows up at her door, arresting her father for the kidnap of a little girl. And Delia's past and present fracture into little pieces. "Vanishing Acts" is a book about the very nature and power of memory. It explores what happens when the past we have been running from catches up to us, and questions who we trust to tell us the story of our lives before we are capable of remembering it ourselves.

An interesting author. A duplicate copy (I haven't read mine yet!).

Picked up at this afternoon's meet of bookcrossers in Wendover Woods.
Just realised all 3 of the books I picked off the table were brought by Retromonkey - bizarre!

I really enjoyed this.. sympathised with Andrew and found Delias thoughts interesting... laughed at the Barbies for grown up girls.

Left behind for Mum.

Vanishing acts is spellbounding, a book that you want to read to the end. I found the thoghts interesting, but did not like reading what happened to Andrew whilst in prison on parole. I was very taken with Ruthann how she took Delia and her daughter under her wing.

Passing on to Becky to take to a Birmingham Bookcrossing next weekend.

Sending to Angellia as a RABCK.
