 Since Sandy Shortt's childhood schoolmate disappeared twenty years ago, Sandy has been obsessed with missing things. Finding becomes her goal - whether it's the odd sock that vanished in the washing machine, the car keys she misplaced in her rush to get to work or the graver issue of finding the people who vanish from their lives. Sandy dedicates her life to finding these missing people, offering devastated families a flicker of hope.
Jack Ruttle is one of those desperate people. It's been a year since his brother, Donal vanished into thin air and the sleepless nights and frantic days aren't getting any easier. Thinking Sandy Shortt could well be the answer to his prayers, he embarks on a quest to find her.
But, when Sandy goes missing too, her search ends when she stumbles upon the place - and people - she's been looking for all of her life. A world away from her loved ones and the home she ran from for so long, Sandy soon resorts to her old habit again, searching. Though this time, she is desperately trying to find her way home! |

Only 5 days of waiting left! I'm gonna search for it in the bookshops here first and if they don't have it I'll get one from London. I got Where Rainbows End from London as well.  Of course from Ireland would be better, but I don't think Westlife have time to send me a copy.. |

How much is the book in Germany?
The cheapest I found here is €19,95.
That's quite expensive.. PS. I Love You was only €11,65.

The German versions are between 10 and 17 Euros. And the English versions are between 7 and 19 Euros... That depends which bookstore you hit!

7?  Even when it's a pre-order or just released? |

No no, when it's just released it's about 15 Euros (that's at least what "If you could see me now" was back when it came out). 7 Euros is the smaller version which usually comes out 9-10 months later.
