The Man Who Didn't Call
Synopsis
Eddie and Sarah spend an intense, unforgettable week together, and Sarah is certain they are both falling in love — until he cuts off all contact. When Eddie leaves for a long-booked trip and promises to call from the airport, Sarah has no reason to doubt him. But he doesn't call. Minutes, days, and weeks go by as her worry curdles into heartbreak, and she becomes determined to find out what really happened.
Published in the UK as The Man Who Didn't Call and in the US as Ghosted, Rosie Walsh's debut novel builds toward the reveal of several long-kept secrets: both Sarah and Eddie have been using names that obscure their true identities, and each is hiding a painful piece of the past from the other — including Sarah's connection to a tragedy in Eddie's family. Love and the possibility of a shared future eventually bring the two of them back together.
