More Than Sorrow: A Mystery
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
Hannah Manning was once an internationally renowned journalist and war correspondent; today, she's a woman suffering from a traumatic brain injury. Unable to read, unable to concentrate, full of pain, lost and confused, and haunted by her memories, Hannah goes to Ontario to her sister's small-scale vegetable farm to recover. As summer settles on the farm, she finds comfort in the soft rolling hills and neat fields as well as friendship in the company of Hila Popalzai, an Afghan woman also traumatized by war. But Hannah experiences strange visions of a woman emerging from the icy-cold mist. Is the woman real or the product of her damaged brain? Which would be worse? Then Hila disappears. And when Hannah cannot account for her time—not even to herself—old enemies begin to circle.
In this modern Gothic novel of heart-wrenching suspense, past and present merge into a terrifying threat to the only thing Hannah still holds dear: her ten-year-old niece, Lily.

Twin tales sit awkwardly beside one another in this story of a Canadian farmhouse with secrets to tell from Delaney (Among the Departed). Hannah Manning, who’s recovering at her sister’s farm in Prince Edward County, Ont., from a brain injury incurred as a reporter in Afghanistan, starts having blackouts whenever she goes into the root cellar. During the blackouts, Hannah has visions of a previous resident, Maggie Macgregor, whose life degenerated into poverty and servitude after her Loyalist husband was killed during the American Revolution. Meanwhile, Hannah begins to take walks with Hila Popalzai, an Afghan woman who bears scars of war but never speaks of her past. When Hila is murdered, the police insist that Hannah knows more about the crime than she does. The modern-day suspense plot resolves with a satisfyingly tense scene that brings the two strands subtly together, but otherwise the historical section, despite its related themes, might as well be a separate book.
