Published: March 2014, Penguin Genre: fiction Themes: unsolved crime, old age, dementia, family My rating (out of 5): ❤❤❤❤❤ Elizabeth is Missing by Emma Healey is very good value as a novel as you get three engaging stories all rolled into one. The past, the present overlaid with what it feels like to try and navigate the world through the spreading fog of dementia. The book is so well written that it is hard to imagine how this could possibly be a debut novel, but Emma Healey writes with the confidence of one who has written a shelf full of books to help her develop such a convincing style. The book is written from the perspective of Maud, who is growing increasingly confused, but is still at that frightening stage where she is aware of what is happening. Dementia is one of our greatest fears and, at 62, I found Maud's struggles unsettling as this is a condition that can affect anyone, no matter how sharp a mind may have been in younger years....
