The "OMG" romance of the year, The Man Who Didn't Call by Rosie Walsh is a heart-wrenching love story with a dark secret at its heart, for anyone who's waited for a phone call that didn't come.
'I absolutely loved this book' Liane Moriarty
Imagine you meet a man, spend seven glorious days together, and fall in love. And it's mutual: you've never been so certain of anything.
So when he leaves for a long-booked holiday and promises to call from the airport, you have no cause to doubt him.
But he doesn't call.
Your friends tell you to forget him, but you know they're wrong: something must have happened; there must be a reason for his silence.
What do you do when you finally discover you're right? That there is a reason - and that reason is the one thing you didn't share with each other?
The truth.
