If you're interested in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder then you really ought to read Elaine Bass' [[A Secret Madness]]. For another story about disappearance you might enjoy Eliza Graham's [[Playing With The Moon]] a story about a black GI who disappeared in Dorset during the war and whose body is found sixty years later.

|comment= I really liked this book, though I know of quite a few who could not finish it. I liked the way that Sandy Short thought that the worse thing to happen was to disappear and no-one come looking for you - that would be really sad that no-one cares enough about you. I also liked the idea that not only lost objects appeared in Here but lost memories, because you do lose your memories they just slip away and you just can't find them again in your memory.

|comment= I tried to read Cecilia Ahern's much praised novel PS I Love You, and must admit I gave up part way through because I felt no sympathy for the heroine. However having bought A Place Called Here at a bargain price, I decided to give it a go when I had nothing else to read! That first night I read over half the book, and was captivated from the first chapter.
I am a hard to please reader, with very high standards, but this book astounded me. It was perfectly paced, and I loved the ideas and the charaters immensely. The story is a perfect mix of possible fantasy blended with reality very similar in style to the novels of Elizabeth Goodge. All in all, a thoruoghly reccommended read. I was gutted when I finished the book, I would have loved it to go on for ever.
