It is two o'clock in the morning when Andrew Gulliver gets the call he has been half-expecting for all of his adult life. His twin sister, Annie, is gone. Annie has been taking off on adventures around the world ever since she was sixteen. But this time is different. Last month, bright, beautiful Annie was held in an Italian mental hospital and diagnosed as a schizophrenic. Until now, her family have refused to face the fact that something is really wrong. Forced to confront the truth at last, Andrew embarks on a desperate search to find Annie before it's too late...

4.0 out of 5 stars AN ASSURED READING OF A FAMILY STORY, 3 Aug 2002

By	Gail Cooke (TX, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Evan Hunter who also writes thriller-dillers under the name Ed McBain is a pro at creating compelling scenarios. Dan Futterman, whom many applauded as Robin Williams's son in "The Bird Cage," is also a master of his craft, as is evident in his assured reading of this tale of emotional dysfunction.

When Andrew Gulliver receives a predawn phone call from his mother telling him that his twin sister, Annie, is missing it is not the first time. As a teenager Annie had disappeared without a trace, only to later reappear just as surprisingly as she had vanished. This was a pattern that she continued through adulthood.

Much of her story is told in flashbacks, as her various odysseys to far off places are recounted. However, just a short while ago Annie was restrained in a mental hospital in Sicily where she was given various drug treatments which seemed to exacerbate her illness rather than control it. She is diagnosed as being schizophrenic.

One of the questions that crosses Andrew's mind as he searches for his sister is whether or not he, too, may be mentally ill. Has their family played a part in his sister's dysfunction?

The Gullivers must face their past and what may be their future during this traumatic time. Hunter writes with perception and compassion of people riven by emotional illness.
