Suddenly, Nicholas is out of his depth. One moment he's there, the next he's gone. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Richard and his other brothers don't attend the funeral, and incredibly the family returns immediately to the same cottage - to complete the holiday, to carry on, in the best British tradition. They soon stop speaking of the catastrophe. Their epic act of collective denial writes Nicky out of the family memory. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Nearly forty years later, Richard, an acclaimed novelist, is haunted by the missing piece of his childhood, the unexpressed and unacknowledged grief at his core. He doesn't even know the date of his brother's death or the name of the beach where the tragedy occurred. So he sets out on a painstaking investigation to rebuild Nicky's life, and ultimately to recreate the precise events on the day of the accident. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Day That Went Missing\u003c\/i\u003e is a transcendent story of guilt and forgiveness, of reckoning with unspeakable loss. But, above all, it is a brother's most tender act of remembrance, and a man's brave act of survival. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWinner of the PEN\/Ackerley Prize 2018\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49349234655536,"sku":"BDcnfq","price":24.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/cnfq-Square-cover.jpg?v=1776249644","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-cnfq","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
