A novel that is as mysterious as its protagonist, the titular man is Quinn, who lives alone in a caravan. Having run from his past and his family, we will discover just why he is such a recluse. Morrall has written a strange, wonderful novel that is easy to read in one sitting.

Elisa, Book Grocer

Praise for THE MAN WHO DISAPPEARED:'A wise, intelligent and surprising novel, in which - as in life - nothing is simple' -- Kate Saunders, The Times 'A highly achieved, engrossing read... Superbly imagined, it reads like documentary truth.' -- Tom Adair, Scotsman Praise for THE LANGUAGE OF OTHERS:'Not only very readable, but very moving; a funny, and occasionally sad, account of what it feels like to be outside the norm' -- The Times 'Subtle and absorbing ... Morrall has a talent for making pitiable characters triumphantly sympathetic' -- Guardian
