Formats & Editions

WHO IS LAURA CLARK?

To her colleagues: an invisible forty-something HR manager who restocks the meeting-room snacks.

To her husband and teenage daughter: the woman who puts food in the fridge and dinner on the table.

To her elderly mother: a round-the-clock helpline for endless complaints.

Laura Clark is the woman everyone relies on. But barely anyone sees.

So, one day, Laura puts on her 'out of office' message - and doesn't come back. And soon, everyone's formerly ordered lives quickly begin to descend into all-out chaos.

Where has Laura gone?

Has something terrible happened to her?

Or has she - unthinkably - decided to finally give her own life the finger?

To find out, the people in her life must realise that, maybe, they never really knew Laura Clark at all . . .
