Thankfully, five days later the girl was found safe and well in a house a few miles away. A local search begins and a telegram is sent to tell the girl’s father to come home from the business trip he’s on. A little girl, aged three, is playing on the sand and, in the flash of a moment when her mother takes her eyes off the child, she is kidnapped. The mystery surrounding her mother’s disappearance begins on a beach in Lincolnshire in October 1929. In On Chapel Sands: My mother and other missing persons, Laura Cumming tells the incredible story of her mother’s disappearance as a young girl, and spools back and forward in time to create a compelling narrative that reads like a detective story. ![]() ![]() It was hard to choose a book to share this month as so many brilliant books have been released recently, but we’ve plumped for a memoir that had us gripped from the first page. ![]()
