Quote by Sarah Dunant

The novel centers on a woman who travels alone to a Mediterranean holiday destination and fails to return as scheduled, leaving those behind to confront uncertainty and imagine possible fates. The narrative unfolds through multiple perspectives and possible scenarios, examining how people construct meaning in the absence of certainty. The title itself suggests cartography of liminal spaces, both geographical and psychological, where conventional coordinates fail to provide reliable guidance. The work belongs to a tradition of literary fiction that investigates the instability of narrative itself, presenting competing versions of events without privileging any single authoritative account. more
