The Birmingham Book Festival is pleased to announce a launch event for Clare Morrall’s fourth novel, The Man Who Disappeared. The Man Who Disappeared is Clare Morrall’s fourth novel, a strong story of deception, loss and discovery. Kate’s life is comfortably average: a nice house, three children and a loving husband with a good job. Or so she thinks. When she is detained by police at an airport in Canada she is shocked to learn they are looking for her husband, Felix, who is accused of money-laundering. They assume she will know where he is. She doesn’t. He has disappeared. The Man Who Disappeared confirms Clare Morrall’s place in the foremost rank of literary novelists writing in Britain today.
Clare Morrall lives in Birmingham and has written four novels. She has been shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2003 and for the British Book Awards ‘Newcomer of the Year’ award in 2004.
Come along to this launch, enjoy a glass of wine, hear excerpts from the new book, get your signed copy and meet the author.
