"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

A 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' latest (after The Silent Treatment, 2020) is full of emotion and mystery. Every day for the past seven years, Mary has gone down to the train station with a sign that says, ""Come Home Jim."" Before he disappeared, Mary and Jim were blissfully in love. A chance meeting at Mary's dead-end job catapulted them into a full-blown relationship. Despite the distance and their age difference, Jim was immediately taken with Mary and their love story quickly evolved. Mary ignored all the warning signs: the drinking, the sadness, and the isolation. She forged ahead and made a life with Jim while creating a well-established business for herself, but he began to suffer from an all-encompassing sadness. Now, Mary is a shell of who she once was, until a video of her screaming goes viral, and Alice, a small-time journalist trying to make a name for herself, takes an interest in finding Jim. With plenty of twists and turns, Greaves' sophomore novel pulls at readers' heartstrings with her well-rounded, relatable characters, and will appeal to fans of Jojo Moyes.
