Kdo se ztratí v lese – Moore Liz (2024)

On an August morning in 1975, when it is discovered that Barbara Van Laar is missing from her cabin at summer camp, panic ensues and an intense search begins. The loss of a camper is never pleasant, but thirteen-year-old Barbara is not just any camper. She is the daughter of the family that founded the camp and owns the nearby opulent estate and most of the land for miles around. Moreover, this is not the first time a Van Laar child has gone missing. Sixteen years ago, Barbara's older brother Bear disappeared and was never found. Some say the two disappearances are unrelated. Others are certain they are. How could something like this happen again? From this double mystery, Liz Moore weaves a richly structured drama full of tension and emotion. As the reader uncovers the past of the Van Laar family and the ordinary people who work for them, they are drawn into the hearts of characters whose lives will be forever changed that summer. The author's most ambitious novel to date is a multi-layered story about love, identity, coming of age, family tensions, and long-buried secrets that refuse to let go.
