Plot Summary of The Missing World
"Hazel loses her memory after a freak accident. Her boyfriend, with whom she had broken up before the accident, declines to tell her of the break-up, and proceeds to cut Hazel off from the outside world. Meanwhile, an aspiring actress's life is falling down around her ears, and an American roofer is having problems dealing with his reality. All four of these people are drawn together in various ways, and how they all affect each other lives."
Jessica Nee, Resident Scholar
