The Disappearance of Emily Marr: From the Sunday Times bestselling author of OUR HOUSE

Product Information

I love being surprised by a mystery, so I loved these unexpected twists, though one is extremely sad.

When Kate Tancred started Untold Fable it was with the idea that technology could empower filmmakers outside the usual geographic strongholds, helping broaden the industry's talent base. Tabby was annoyingly wet as she yearned after Paul who had all but told her to bugger off before her abandonment when travelling. While I did always have queries about "Emmie" and how the two timelines linked up through Tabby's narrative, I felt that this aspect of the novel was the most under-developed. Emily Marr is an average woman, who isn’t guilty of anything obscene and yet she is catapulted into notoriety and made a pariah of illicit virtues.I was very young, very naïve and certainly not ready to be working with someone of his calibre but I remember how he included me, listened to me and patiently explained things so I could sound like I knew what I was talking about when I went back to my client! Tabby is a young woman who has escaped a troubled past, but has found herself in France alone, after being dumped by the boyfriend she went travelling with. During this read, I really appreciated how much of a nuanced and important social critique this novel is.

During her time there she was responsible for creating relationships with the likes of Sky, ITV, BBC and Netflix. She needs to go home, but is reluctant, she needs to earn money but her French is weak at best, but most of all she needs somewhere to sleep. Award-winning DP Stuart Harris, has worked on such films as Ken Russell’s The Boyfriend and David Hare’s Wetherby, as well as more than 4000 ads and music videos, including Pink Floyd's High Hopes. And what was it that Seth and his brother witnessed as children that, in his words, ‘no human should ever see’? Instead of kicking Tabby out of her home, as she has every right to do, Emmie decides to let the younger woman explain herself.Marr started her career in production at MPC in 2003, where she spent two years before moving to Leo Burnett for another two years in a similar role. Luckily, she has no spiteful journalist neighbour poised and eager to turn her into a national hate figure. Then she overhears a villager repeating aloud the access code to her front door and, hardly believing her own actions, Tabby waits for the villager to leave and lets herself into the house .
