There’s No Place Like Here by Cecilia Ahern New popular Irish author Cecilia Ahern wins with another lightly thoughtful book. Tall and dark-haired Sandy Shortt has been obsessed with missing people ever since snotty Jenny-May from across the street went missing when they were 10. She’s spent her life helping people look for missing loved ones, but never felt particularly connected herself. Then, shortly before a meeting with a man whose brother has been missing for a year, she disappears herself. She finds herself in Here, the place where missing people and things go. For the first time in her life, there are plenty of people to whom Sandy feels connected, from hearing their family members talk about them, all of them eager to hear her news. But nothing ever goes missing in Here, and Sandy wants more than anything to go home again. The plot cuts back and forth between this story; Sandy’s growing up and subsequent relationship with the young school psychologist; and the efforts of her latest client to locate her, the one person he believes might help him reach closure over his brother. The message is obvious from the title of the book, but the characters are sweet and likeable, and the book makes for a fun read.
