Omschrijving

The Mystery of Hollow Places is a gorgeously written, stunningly original novel of love, loss, and identity, from debut author Rebecca Podos.

All Imogene Scott knows of her mother is the bedtime story her father told her as a child. It’s the story of how her parents met: he, a forensic pathologist; she, a mysterious woman who came to identify a body. A woman who left Imogene and her father when she was a baby, a woman who was always possessed of a powerful loneliness, a woman who many referred to as “troubled waters.”

Now Imogene is seventeen, and her father, a famous author of medical mysteries, has struck out in the middle of the night and hasn’t come back. Neither Imogene’s stepmother nor the police know where he could’ve gone, but Imogene is convinced he’s looking for her mother. And she decides it’s up to her to put to use the skills she’s gleaned from a lifetime of reading her father’s books to track down a woman she’s only known in stories in order to find him and, perhaps, the answer to the question she’s carried with her for her entire life.

What happens when the line between fiction and reality blurs, and the only clues you have come from the pages of a book?

Amateur Sleuth: Imogene Scott has read all her father’s books. Now she must use his fictional techniques to solve the very real mystery of his disappearance. A Powerful Father-Daughter Story: A tale of love, loss, and the bedtime stories that bind a daughter to the famous father who vanishes without a trace. Coming of Age Story: In her quest for answers about her parents, a seventeen-year-old girl must confront the truth about her own identity and the meaning of family. Lyrical, Literary YA Fiction: A gorgeously written debut novel, perfect for readers who love atmospheric mysteries with deep emotional questions at their heart.
