Living with the kind Bridie Aberdeen and her teenage son, Harry, in a charming stone cottage along the River Thames, Hazel fills their days with walks and games to distract her young sister, including one that she creates for her sister and her sister alone -- a fairy tale about a magical land, a secret place they can escape to that is all their own. But the unthinkable happens when young Flora suddenly vanishes while playing near the banks of the river. Shattered, Hazel blames herself for her sister's disappearance, and she carries that guilt into adulthood as a private burden she feels she deserves. Twenty years later, Hazel is in London, ready to move on from her job at a cozy rare bookstore to a career at Sotheby's. With a charming boyfriend and her elegantly timeworn Bloomsbury flat, Hazel's future seems determined. But her tidy life is turned upside down when she unwraps a package containing an illustrated book called Whisperwood and the River of Stars. Hazel never told a soul about the imaginary world she created just for Flora. Could this book hold the secrets to Flora's disappearance? Could it be a sign that her beloved sister is still alive after all these years?"-- 650 $a Sisters $x Fiction 650 $a World War (1939-1945) $x Fiction $x England $x Fiction 650 $a Evacuation of civilians 650 $a Imaginary places 650 $a Missing persons 650 $a Sisters 650 $a Storytelling 650 $a Great Britain $x Fiction $x George Vi, 1936-1952 $x Fiction 650 $a England 650 $a Fiction 650 $a Historical fiction 650 $a History 008 s2023 941 $a 38 952 $l TBPD706 $d 20240621012404.0 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20240514011321.0 952 $l DFPC353 $d 20240430021603.0 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417021002.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409045040.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314025742.0 952 $l XSPE157 $d 20240227010436.0 952 $l VCPD034 $d 20240227010148.0 952 $l UKPD911 $d 20240213010530.0 952 $l XGPC697 $d 20240118010723.0 952 $l YMPD532 $d 20231220010929.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20231206013257.0 952 $l ZYPE837 $d 20231202013913.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20231114011545.0 952 $l KJPF566 $d 20231109010536.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20231102012254.0 952 $l WWPC305 $d 20231026011526.0 952 $l FQPC224 $d 20231026010745.0 952 $l ETPD745 $d 20231025015128.0 952 $l RFPC397 $d 20231018031601.0 952 $l CHPB482 $d 20231018010547.0 952 $l XRPC157 $d 20231017011621.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20231014010110.0 952 $l LYPB815 $d 20231013123411.0 952 $l VMPC334 $d 20230923010437.0 952 $l LHPD057 $d 20230915122920.0 $m FIC LG PRT 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20230913010252.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20230906010339.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20230902012954.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20230902011659.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20230902011215.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230902010513.0 952 $l ZIPA815 $d 20230824174358.0 952 $l JBPC145 $d 20230822171822.0 952 $l JMPC081 $d 20230822012616.0 952 $l BKPC251 $d 20230815135452.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20230815011024.0 952 $l EZPE755 $d 20230812010619.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8F06DB4038D511EEAF066C635BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
