- More about Twice Lost
On a summer day in a rustic English village, a fragile, needy child named Vivian vanishes from her family's front garden, leaving behind an enduring torment for Christine Gray, the last person to see her alive. Years later, a grown-up Vivian returns, threatening to consume both the wicked and innocent. Phyllis Paul's novels, which have been out of print for over fifty years, are admired by authors such as Elizabeth Bowen, Rebecca West, and John Cowper Powys but remain a mystery with no simple solution.

In a picturesque English village, on a sunny summer day, amidst a joyous tennis party, a fragile and needy child, left too much on her own, mysteriously vanishes from her family's front garden.
Years elapse, and the mystery remains unsolved: an enduring anguish for the teenage Christine Gray, the last person to witness Vivian's alive. Perhaps if she had shown the girl a little kindness and ensured her safe return, Vivian would still be with them? Yet, when someone claiming to be an adult Vivian resurfaces, the enigma deepens, threatening to engulf both the wicked and the innocent.
Twice Lost, a novel that blends elements of The Turn of the Screw, Picnic at Hanging Rock, and gothic thriller, has garnered admiration from renowned authors such as Elizabeth Bowen, Rebecca West, and John Cowper Powys. However, the enigmatic works of Phyllis Paul themselves remain a mystery, with no straightforward solution. Despite their literary significance, her novels have been largely forgotten and have been out of print for over fifty years. Consequently, they fetch fantastic prices in the rare book trade.
The disappearance of Vivian Gray remains a haunting tale, captivating readers with its intricate plot and enigmatic characters. Phyllis Paul's novels, despite their obscurity, continue to intrigue and fascinate those who seek to unravel the secrets within their pages.
