Twice Lost
by Phyllis PaulWho could have been so cruel as to do away with poor Vivian Lambert? And why oh why couldn&’t she just stay dead?In a rustic, idyllic English village, on a summer&’s day, in the midst of a carefree tennis party, a fragile, needy child, left too much on her own, vanishes from her family&’s front garden. Years pass and the mystery persists: an enduring torment for the teenage Christine Gray, the last person to see Vivian alive. Perhaps if she&’d shown the girl a little kindness, and seen her safely home, Vivian might still be with them? Yet when someone claiming to be a grown-up Vivian returns to the land of the living, the enigma seems only to deepen, threatening to consume the wicked and innocent alike. Equal parts The Turn of the Screw, Picnic at Hanging Rock, and gothic thriller, Twice Lost was admired by such authors as Elizabeth Bowen, Rebecca West, and John Cowper Powys—yet the strange, haunting novels of Phyllis Paul are themselves a mystery with no simple solution. Virtually lost to time even before her death, her novels have been out of print for more than fifty years, and fetch fantastic prices in the rare book trade.

Luce is stunned when they elect her as their leader. But she won't be their queen. She'll be their general. And they will become the Twice Lost Army--because this is war.n, the boy who betrayed her--even when he fights to prove his love to her again. In the exhilarating conclusion to the Lost Voices trilogy, both the mermaid and the human worlds are changed forever by a collision as savage as it is astonishing.
