“As convincing as it was gripping, a fabulous debut thriller.”—Sunday Mirror

If your whole life is a lie, who can you trust?

Raised in a quiet rural community, Anna has always been taught that her mamma’s rules are the only path to follow. But, on her eighteenth birthday, she defies her mamma for the first time in her life and goes to Astroland. She’s never been allowed to visit Florida’s biggest theme park, so why, when she arrives, does everything about it seem so familiar? And is there a connection to the mysterious letter she receives that same day—a letter addressing her by a different name?

Rosie has grown up in the shadow of the missing sister she barely remembers, her family fractured by years of searching without leads. Now, on the fifteenth anniversary of her sister’s disappearance, the media circus resumes as the funds dedicated to the search dry up, and Rosie vows to uncover the truth herself. But can she find the answer before it tears her family apart?

Winner of the Daily Mail First Novel Competition, A Girl Named Anna is a psychologically riveting read that introduces Lizzy Barber as an outstanding new voice in suspense fiction.

I couldn't stop listening!

I absolutely loved this book! I don't know how many times I sat in a driveway or circled the block to hear just a little more. Wonderfully written and read!

gripping storyline

I really liked most of this book. It's always great to see the two different perspectives and it was heartbreaking to see the guilt Emily's parents felt about her disappearance. The final chapters where Anna and Mary are in the attic felt a little too unbelievable though, but helped to tie up the loose ends.

Anna

I didn’t like it very much but I did finish it . Storyline line was boring.

Meh

Anna’s voice is babyish and annoying

Story is far too long and often repetitive. Could have easily been written in several less chapters

Pretty easily predictable but also the father Paul stuff gets pretty weird
