The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox
The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox | Maggie O'Farrell
THE VANISHING ACT OF ESME LENNOX is vintage Maggie O'Farrell: a stunning imagining of a life stolen, and reclaimed.Edinburgh in the 1930s. The Lennox family is having trouble with its youngest daughter. Esme is outspoken, unconventional, and repeatedly embarrasses them in polite society. Something will have to be done.Years later, a young woman named Iris Lockhart receives a letter informing her that she has a great-aunt in a psychiatric unit who is about to be released.Iris has never heard of Esme Lennox and the one person who should know more, her grandmother Kitty, seems unable to answer Iris's questions. What could Esme have done to warrant a lifetime in an institution? And how is it possible for a person to be so completely erased from a family's history?

I really enjoyed this one, as I do most Maggie O'Farrells! I suppose the misunderstood mental illness storyline is not completely new but this was well done without being too heavyhanded, I think. And her writing is just so good. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Beautiful story. Loved the way it unfolded - through the eyes of Esme, Iris, and Kitty. This will stay with me for a while. A perfectly written story.

Rightly described as a “gothic mystery”, this is the story of family secrets and the horrible consequences of selfishness. I think this is Maggie O‘Farrell‘s first novel, and reads like a thriller. Her writing style is great for this genre. Impressive and quick read. Highly recommend.

Going back for a reread of Maggie O‘Farrells‘s fourth book and feeling like she really started hitting her stride with this one. It‘s such a sad, yet at times sweet, story of Esme, perceived as a “difficult” child and placed in an asylum at 16. Her great-niece Iris is only told about her 60 years later, and slowly Esme‘s awful story is revealed. A beautifully told story👇

JillR I loved Mary Lennox in The Secret Garden and it made me inordinately sad to read a review that felt this may be the author‘s take on what may have happened to Mary had she not found that garden and some happiness… 12mo

Iris answers the phone one day to find that she is the family contact for her grandmother‘s sister, Esme, who she has never heard of and has been institutionalized for most of her life. From the points of view of Iris, Esme, and Esme‘s sister Kitty who is partially lost to dementia, O‘Farrell peels layer after layer from characters until their heartbreaking stories are laid bear. Love Maggie O‘Farrell and the way she tells stories. #authoramonth

Now I‘ve read all of O‘Farrell‘s books, and this ended up being a favorite. Since I‘ve read most over the past two years, it‘s been wonderful to see her progression as a writer, and I loved meeting her last year! #AuthorAMonth

Iris gets an unexpected call. A great aunt she has never heard of needs a new placement as the mental hospital she‘s lived in for 61 years is shutting down. A hauntingly beautiful story unfolds from multiple perspectives.

What a great introduction to Maggie O‘Farrell! This character study was subtle and surprising. Just when I thought I knew what was unfolding there were several turns I didn‘t see coming. And the ending has left me thinking about this for several days, wondering what will happen to these characters, and what they‘ll decide to do. #AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville

I originally stated that I was going to skip the #aam pick for July. Then I saw several posts on this one and it was on the shorter side. I started this Saturday evening and read into the wee hours of Sunday morning (currently paying for that 😁) to finish it. I was just sucked in and loved it. #Booked2023 #setintwotimeperiods

Thanks @Soubhiville although I‘m still iffy on Rushdie next month. 🙂

CatLass007 What is #aam? If this book is one of the books people are reading, I may want in. I‘ve added a few of her books to my wish list. I just need the excuse to buy and read. 1y
Bookzombie @CatLass007 It‘s the Author A Month challenge. Maybe I should have used this hashtag #authoramonth instead. @Soubhiville hosts this one. Maggie O‘Farrell is July‘s author. Soubhi reposts the list around the beginning of the each month. 1y

CatLass007 @Soubhiville I found the most recent post with the list of authors for #authoramonth. Would you please add me to the update list? I think I probably will skip Salman Rushdie but I have several books by Nnedi Okorafor already in my Audible library. So it‘s a date starting in September! (edited) 1y

This elegantly written book spans Victorian times in India and Scotland and modern times in Edinburgh, and three generations of a Scottish family. It is a story of two sisters,Esme and Kitty and a family conspiracy.Esme has been hidden in a psychiatric hospital for 60 years until her Great Niece is notified of her existence.The reader is left to decide if Esme was mentally ill or not. A page turner. Mysterious,sad,shocking! #authoramonth2023

I whipped through this O'Farrell backlist title in two days. I was on a BIG drive, and it really helped the klicks pass. Esme was such a wonderfully drawn character, and I enjoyed the juxtaposition of her tightly controlled life with the relative freedom Iris enjoyed in modern-day Scotland. The only thing I could have done without was Iris and Alex's backstory, I don't feel it served any purpose here.

I‘ll nudge this to Pick. The story pulls at your heartstrings and keeps you captivated in its sadness in the hopes happier things can happen. But Triggers abound here: r*pe, forced institutionalization, child death.

As my first foray into this author I am intrigued by her daring. I didn‘t love the formatting (perhaps that was the audiobook tho?) bc it felt like the plot consistently jumped POV without warning.

I chose this audio for #authoramonth because it was the shortest O‘Farrell my library had and I have a lot of borrows piled up 😬😁📚.

I‘ve never read this author before, and I enjoyed this!

Iris finds out she has a great aunt, Esme, who has been in a hospital for 60 years. The place is closing and Iris has to decide where Iris is to live. Esme‘s sister, Iris‘ grandmother, is in a home with Alzheimer‘s and never mentioned a sister.

I was bewitched by O'Farrell's exquisite writing and ability to capture the true essence of each character. I welcomed the challenge of three distinct characters, each telling her own story (sometimes in jerks and starts) the best she can, leaving me to read-between-the-lines as the cliche goes. What women have had to endure on this planet still staggers me--then and now. Esme, I won't forget you. 💚

Maggie O'Farrell is one of my auto-buy authors. Her writing is spectacular, her characters are vivid and realistic. The first book of hers I read was Esme Lennox. I was blown away. Then I read I Am, I Am, I Am and I was a fan for life. If you have not read her give her a try!

I‘ve just finished The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox by Maggie O‘Farrell. Another wonderful story with twists and turns. I did get confused at times as it‘s told from the perspective of Esme, her sister and her grand niece. Esme was put in an institution at the age of 16 and didn‘t leave till 60 years later. I won‘t say too much incase you read it!!

Esther likes the name Esme. Esther also enjoyed long walks while Care listened to this book. Esther is annoyed that Care had to stop and replay, “Wait, What was that?!” Because Care is out of practice listening to audiobooks. (Esther emits a fake aghast sound.) Esther will tell you that Care ❤️s old ladies being feisty as characters in books. Esther also wants you to know that reading rather than listening is best on this one, but she‘s just a dog

Fab writing, love some of the sentences and turns of phrase.
I liked the intertwining stories, Esme's life and Iris's flow together. The third narrator suddenly appears and that threw me st first bit it's actually cleverly written.
The men are all quite unlikable!
Still unsure what happened at the end! It's playing on my mind... 🤔🤔😄

What a sad but beautiful book. Iris found out about her grandmother‘s sister when she received a call informing her that the sanatorium will close and she was in the contact list to take care of her aunt. Her grandmother has Alzheimer‘s, no one knows about this aunt. Many family secrets will be revealed. I love the way it was written it was like been in Esme thoughts, talking with someone but also lost in her self talk.I used the audio & book4.5⭐️

Gissy My first book by this author, definitely not the last one. I highly recommend the audio since the story is told from different perspectives. I couldn‘t put it down, I read it in one day.

Iris discovers that she has a great aunt that she has never heard of who has been locked in a mental institution for over 60 years. The institution is about to close and Iris the only relative left to make decisions. Who is this woman? Why was she erased from their family? Slim, sad, and difficult to put down as the family secrets come to light. Definitely a book I will recommend often.
