by **Claire North** (Author)

**The World Fantasy Award-winning thriller about a girl no one can remember, from the acclaimed author of _The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August_ and _84K_.**

My name is Hope Arden, and you won't know who I am. But we've met before -- a thousand times.

It started when I was sixteen years old. A father forgetting to drive me to school. A mother setting the table for three, not four. A friend who looks at me and sees a stranger.

No matter what I do, the words I say, the crimes I commit, you will never remember who I am.

That makes my life difficult. It also makes me dangerous.

_The Sudden Appearance of Hope_ is a riveting and heartbreaking exploration of identity and existence, about a forgotten girl whose story will stay with you forever.
