About the Book: Margaret thinks her time is up…
Things have been hard since her husband Derek died, and they never really got over the
disappearance of their daughter, Jeanie, all those years ago. Despite everything, they built a lovely life together… it’s just starting to feel impossible for Margaret on her own. Then one day, Margaret returns home to an unlikely visitor, and together they set out to discover what really happened to Jeanie. Perhaps if you knock on enough doors, you might find another end to your story. 

About Joanna: Joanna Cannon is the Sunday Times bestselling and Women’s Prize longlisted author of The Trouble with Goats and Sheep, Three Things about Elsie and A Tidy Ending. Before becoming a full-time writer, Joanna worked as a hospital doctor, later specialising in psychiatry. She is a regular panellist at literary festivals across the country and her writing has appeared in the Guardian, Sunday Telegraph, and Observer, among others.

An Unlikely Visitor will publish ten years after Joanna’s breakout debut, The Trouble with Goats and Sheep, which stole the hearts of readers all over the country, sold over 500,000 copies, and established her as an author treasured for her ability to give a voice to those who sit on the fringes of society. With Joanna’s trademark humour, heart and poignancy, An Unlikely Visitor explores the extraordinary secrets buried just under the surface of seemingly ordinary lives.
