The Silent Treatment
Summary
"A remarkably assured debut which doesn't go where you expect it to go. I very much look forward to seeing what she writes next." (Jojo Moyes, number one New York Times best-selling author) "The premise alone had me, but The Silent Treatment itself is just heartrendingly lovely. It's beautiful, so moving and clever. I truly adored it." (Josie Silver, number one New York Times best-selling author of One Day in December) Resonant with the emotional power of the best-selling novels of David Nicholls and Jojo Moyes, a rich and poignant debut about lies, loss, and a transcendent love at the heart of a troubled marriage. A lifetime together. Six months of silence. One last chance. By all appearances, Frank and Maggie share a happy, loving marriage. But for the past six months, they have not spoken. Not a sentence, not a single word. Maggie isn’t sure what, exactly, provoked Frank’s silence, though she has a few ideas. Day after day, they have eaten meals together and slept in the same bed in an increasingly uncomfortable silence that has become, for Maggie, deafening. Then Frank finds Maggie collapsed in the kitchen, unconscious, an empty package of sleeping pills on the table. Rushed to the hospital, she is placed in a medically induced coma while the doctors assess the damage. If she regains consciousness, Maggie may never be the same. Though he is overwhelmed at the thought of losing his wife, will Frank be able to find his voice once again - and explain his withdrawal - or is it too late?

Anywhere for You
Summary
“It’s a pleasure to read such a stylish and confident new voice - readers are going to love discovering Abbie Greaves.” (Louise Candlish, internationally best-selling author of Our House and Those People) From the author of The Silent Treatment, the heart-wrenching story of a woman's decade-long search for answers after the love of her life disappears - a timeless and deeply moving exploration of what it means to love and lose and to hope and carry on. The strap-hangers of Ealing Broadway station are familiar with unusual sights on the London Tube, including the woman with the sign who appears every day to watch the droves of busy commuters. Polite and neatly dressed, Mary O’Connor doesn’t beg for spare change or ask anything from anyone. What sets her apart is the placard she carries bearing a plaintive message: "Come Home Jim". While others pass her by without a thought, Alice, a junior reporter at the Ealing Bugle, wants to know Mary’s story. Many years ago, when Mary met the charming and romantic James Whitnell, she knew that she'd found her other half. Then he disappeared without a trace. Mary is certain that Jim isn’t a cad, that he truly loved her and will return - especially because she's recently received grainy phone calls from him saying he misses her. But Mary hasn’t spent her life pining; she’s joined an organization to help others in crisis. Touched and more than a little suspicious, the curious Alice quietly begins her own investigation into Jim's vanishing act. Moving between Mary's present and past, Anywhere for You captures both the promise and heady thrill of romance and the confusion and pain of heartbreak. In this emotionally poignant and compulsively enjoyable novel, Abbie Greaves explores the enduring power of love and asks if we can ever know someone completely - especially those we care for most.
