The Daylight Marriage by Heidi Pitlor
Lovell and Hannah Hall have been married for a number of years and
their marriage is far from perfect.
Opposites in so many ways it is difficult to know what is holding them
together, and they are each finding it difficult to remember what it was they
loved about the other years ago. One
night they have a fight that could have become violent. The next morning Hannah disappears and
naturally her husband is a suspect.
Told in alternating chapters from Lovell and Hannah’s perspective
we learn the backstory of the marriage and what is happening in the
present. It’s a believable albeit dark
story. Lovell and his two children need
to continue on with their lives as well as they can with their wife and mother
out there somewhere. This is the book
that I think many expected Gone Girl to be; a straightforward thriller focused
on the lives of the family more than the mystery surrounding the disappearance.
