Part of the spell

""Tacita is pretending to ignore her husband's affair; Stella can't imagine wanting any more than she has; Theresa is determined to stay so busy, she won't have time to feel guilty; Zeki hopes no-one will find out what he's up to; Jonathan swigs whisky on the commuter train, wanting to believe his children are running free through the woods in their wellies; and Sheila, a widow, mother and grandmother has disappeared. In a small English town, everyone is struggling to be the person they think they should be. But sometimes the pressure is overwhelming."--Publisher's description."@en

And Sheila, a widower, mother and grandmother has disappeared. 'If only people were more honest about themselves and the people around them."@en
