A Place Called Here by Cecelia Ahern is a story about missing things. The main character Sandy Shortt has been obsessed by missing things she dedicates her life to finding all missing things. That includes items that she has lost and missing people which offers devastated families a flicker of hope. Jack Ruttle's brother Donal vanished a year ago. Hoping that Sandy Shortt will be his answer he goes on a mission to find her. However, Sandy goes missing too and in doing so finds all those items and people that she has been looking for, for such a long time. She is a world away from her loved ones and she resorts again to searching, this time it's for her way home.

This book is filled with mystery; it fits in a variety of genres as Cecelia Ahern seems very keen to do. The idea that there is a place full of missing things seems hilarious and very true, in some senses, to me! Everyone can relate to missing objects as we lose things most days. I think that is what makes this novel so successful. This is not a straight forward chick-lit book and I would recommend it to anyone.

Summary: A very enjoyable read
