Synopsis

One story, two courses.
A purple bicycle, a broken statuette, a flight of fruit bats at dusk.
These unrelated things push Selby Green away from an ordinary existence and a numb marriage toward real life. On a spur-of-the-moment drive with a virtual stranger, she discovers belonging. She finds warmth and feeling through the cruel route of heartbreak and the price of impulsiveness.
Two lives, one fate.
Bohemian glass, the forests of Moravia, escape from behind the Iron Curtain.
Edmund Eben escapes from nowhere to here on a ten-pound assisted passage. He designs vases, sells hats, paints pictures, yearns to belong, learns to love.
How are Edmund and Selby connected? Their stories mesh.
Time, history, pain, and the inexorable pull of kinship bring them together through unbreakable bonds.
How to Disappear is a novel in two parts, which links two separate and very different lives with a lasting emotional connection.
Let this story remind you of your own life convergence, of your own brushes with serendipity.

About this title

Product Description:

A purple bicycle, a broken statuette, doughnuts, and a spur-of-the-moment drive with a virtual stranger take Selby Green away from her grey existence toward real life. She discovers belonging and warmth through the cruel route of heartbreak; the price of impulsiveness. Bohemian glass, the forests of Moravia, escape from behind the Iron Curtain, and a ten-pound assisted passage to Australia bring Edmund Eben from nowhere to here. He designs vases, sells hats, paints pictures, yearns to belong, learns to love. Edmund and Selby are somehow connected. Time, history, pain and the inexorable pull of kinship bring them together through tenuous ties and unbreakable bonds. How to Disappear is a novel in two parts that links two analogous lives. It is one story, two courses. Two lives, one fate. It is a demonstration of how confusion and loss only need a stroke of convergence to develop into enduring affection.
