An Unlikely Visitor
Moving, funny, compassionate and wise, An Unlikely Visitor is an astonishing achievement. Joanna Cannon is an exquisite observer of human nature. Her stories are not so much told as felt by the soul. An Unlikely Visitor made me laugh, cry and left me filled with hope’ ELIZABETH DAY
Margaret thinks her time is up…
Things have been hard since her husband Derek died, and they never really got over the disappearance of their daughter, Jeanie, all those years ago.
Despite everything, they built a lovely life together… it’s just starting to feel impossible for Margaret on her own.
But maybe her time is now?
Then one day, Margaret returns home to an unlikely visitor, and together they set out to discover what really happened to Jeanie.
Perhaps if you knock on enough doors, you might find another end to your story…
‘Brimming with Jo’s trademark compassion, insight and wry humour, An Unlikely Visitor is both a meditation on a grief, a mystery of a missing child and a powerful exploration of the human condition. Jo writes so beautifully about human frailties and her kindness illuminates every sentence. A treat of a novel’ HANNAH BECKERMAN
