"A stylish and confident new voice-readers are going to love discovering Abbie Greaves." - Louise Candlish, internationally bestselling author of Our House and Those PeopleA poignant and thrilling love story about one woman's decade-long search to reconnect with the love of her life who disappeared without a trace-a stirring and heartfelt page-turner from the critically acclaimed author of The Silent Treatment.
The straphangers of Ealing Broadway station are familiar with Mary O'Connor, the woman who appears every day to watch the droves of busy commuters. But Mary never asks anything from anyone. She only holds out a sign bearing a heartrending message: Come Home Jim.
While others pass her by without a thought, Alice, a junior reporter at the Ealing Bugle, asks Mary to tell her story. Many years ago, Mary met the charming and romantic Jim Whitnell. She was certain she'd found her other half, until one day he vanished without any explanation. But Mary believes that Jim isn't a cad, that he truly loved her and will return-especially because she's recently received grainy phone calls from him saying he misses her.
Touched but also suspicious, Alice quietly begins her own investigation into Jim's disappearance, unraveling a decade-long story filled with desire, heartbreak, and hope. With Greaves's signature warmth and charm, Anywhere for You is a romantic and immensely moving novel about the enduring power of love and finding happiness in unexpected places.

"Greaves finds extraordinary in the ordinary, carefully pulling apart this seemingly happy marriage to reveal the guilt and desperation that lie beneath. Frank and Maggie's struggle to define themselves when life doesn't meet their expectations is full of intensity and emotion, their love for one another the only constant. With the sincerity and hope of Tayari Jones' An American Marriage (2018) and the thoughtful, circumspect snapshots of marriage in Lauren Groff's Fates and Furies (2015), Greaves' debut depicts the many joys and sorrows that make up a marriage." - Booklist on The Silent Treatment
"Abbie Greaves held me spellbound with this intimate, emotional story of the brutal power of silence and ostracism. Yet this deep dive into a troubled marriage is ultimately uplifting as Frank and Maggie make their way through the challenges of isolation, mental health, ageing, and the yearning for connection. Keep the tissues handy for this lovely read." - Susan Wiggs, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Oysterville Sewing Circle, on The Silent Treatment

"The Silent Treatment is a gorgeous heart-breaker of a novel-an intimate, unpretentious, precisely drawn and surprisingly suspenseful look at a decades-long marriage: how it soars and plummets and, gem-like, alters its appearance under different lights. Abbie Greaves has a bright future and I can't wait to see what it brings." - Meg Mitchell Moore, author of Two Truths and a Lie and The Islanders, on The Silent Treatment
"An original and moving debut from a talented new voice." - Santa Montefiore, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Secret Hours, on The Silent Treatment
"Not so much a case of 'he said/she said' as 'he didn't say/she didn't say,' this moving debut unpicks the secret selves of Maggie and Frank to reveal the tragic miscommunications of their broken family. It's a pleasure to read such a stylish and confident new voice-readers are going to love discovering Abbie Greaves." - Louise Candlish, internationally bestselling author of Our House and Those People, on The Silent Treatment
"In her tremendously moving debut, a novel that pulses with emotional tension, Abbie Greaves masterfully unpicks a history of ordinary lives facing extraordinary challenges.

"In an urgent race against the clock, the layers of Frank and Maggie's decades-long love story are peeled back to reveal the heartrending secrets that lurk below.
