Publisher's Notes
First Line: "My husband has disappeared."
Industry Reviews "Little happens, but little needs to, in a memorable dramatization of the unknowability of those closest to us and, hence, of ourselves." Kirkus Reviews - Jane Charteris (05/01/1999)
"MY PHANTOM HUSBAND is not so much about love and marriage as about the nature of individuality, and whether any two individuals can ever share a view of the world. It explores ideas about presence and absence. It is not exactly cerebral, nor exactly philosophical, yet it is curiously cold." Guinness
