About this audiobook

Take an ordinary, well-off family like the Prices. Watch what happens when one Sunday, 17-year-old Hannah disappears without a trace. See how the family rallies when a ransom note demands half a million pounds for Hannah's safe return. But it's when Hannah comes home that the story really begins. Now observe what happens to a family when they lose their house, their status, all their wealth. Note how they disintegrate under the pressures of guilt and poverty and are forced to confront their true selves. And, finally, wait to hear about Hannah, who has the most shocking surprise in store of all. Listeners are advised this audiobook includes offensive language and attitudes that are reflective of the period in which the fictional novel is set.
