Mrs Featherby had been having pleasant dreams until she woke to discover the front of her house had vanished overnight.

Here is a quirky & fantastical novel about things lost & things found from a startling new voice in fiction.

On a seemingly normal morning in London, a group of people all lose something dear to them, something dear but peculiar: the front of their house, their piano keys, their sense of direction, their place of work.

Meanwhile, Jake, a young boy whose father brings him to London following his mother’s sudden death in an earthquake, finds himself strangely attracted to other people’s lost things. But little does he realise that his most valuable possession is slipping away from him.

Of Things Gone Astray is a magical fable about modern life & values. Perfect for fans of Andrew Kaufman & Cecelia Ahern. 

Janina Matthewson is a writer & trained actress from Christchurch, New Zealand. She now lives in London. Of Things Gone Astray is her first full-length novel.
