Missing
A language misunderstanding leads to Mission Hospital being renamed Missing Hospital by its Ethiopian hosts. Once it was written on the page, it was as if the name were carved in stone.
Both names are apt. Many of the characters pursue a mission: to save souls, to save lives, to find redemption for their own or someone elseâs past mistakes. However, their original mission or purpose is often lost or changed by events, and therefore is missing from all that follows.
The novel draws suspense from the quests of its diverse characters, and their endless longing to find or replace what is missing:
