The Words for HerThe Words for Her

"Hold up your phone to take a photo and some people won't be there. Look for them in older images and their bodies are gaps, the rest of the photo still busy around them. People have stopped appearing in photographs. First a handful, then many more. Does this new, troubling group pose a threat? From their home in Whakatane, Jodie Pascoe and her daughter Jade watch as the number of gaps grows. While protecting Jade, Jodie searches for a friend from the past, Miri, who will help her navigate the collapsing present. The Words for Her is an arresting story about how photographs bind us together and what happens when those binds fall away."--
