Not until several hours later when he looks up from his graduate thesis does he realize she has disappeared. This is something Lilia has been doing since she was seven years old.Lilia had not seen her father for years until one night, when she is seven, he tosses ice at her window and her home in Montreal. She immediately goes outside into his arms and they leave forever. They never stay anywhere longer than a couple of days, traveling around the US. Lilia writes in each bedside motel bible, unknown to her father variations of this: "I am not missing. Stop searching for me. I wish to remain vanishing. I don't want to go home."Christopher Graydon is the private detective who becomes obsessed with finding her while neglecting his own daughter, Michaela.Lilia ends up in Montreal after leaving Eli and meets up with Michaela who then sends Eli a postcard to come get her. But she refuses to tell Eli where she is until her own agenda is met.my review: I LOVED this book. I thought it was meaningful and compelling. Lilia is a mysterious, tragic figure as is Michaela. Eli is caught up by both of their stories and this makes for a brilliant debut novel.I also found the discussion of Eli's thesis on endangered languages to be very interesting, enough so that I am looking for a book to read more about this. I also found the language laws of Quebec to be fascinating as I was unaware of this. I also love reading books that lead me to other books or interests.But Lilia's story is the driving force that kept me hooked: why did she leave with her father, why did he come get her, why even as an adult can Lilia not stop vanishing?This is another fairly short novel that tells an amazing story in less than 300 pages. Run out and buy this book, I highly recommend it!my rating 5/5 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars About secrets and obsession, and how they destroy lives. *by A***K on Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2024* When Lilia was a small child, her father kidnapped her in the middle of the night and drove her across the Canadian border into the United States. They spent the next decade driving together, criss-crossing the US over and over, never staying in any one place for long, frequently changing their car, their appearances, and their names, fleeing the investigator undoubtedly following them.When Lilia was sixteen, her father met someone with whom he wanted to settle down, but Lilia was restless. Life on the road was all she knew; it’s what felt normal and right to her. And so she went off on her own, but checking in regularly with her father and his new wife.Last Night is a story about secrets and obsession, and about how they destroy lives. Chapters set in the current time alternate with chapters from the past. Questions—such as, why did Lilia’s father take her away?—remain unanswered until the very end of the book. Although everything is wrapped up in the end, this is not a story with a happy ending. It’s a masterfully-written book that will haunt you. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars The premise is good - a young girl kidnapped by her father moves ... *by L***Y on Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2014* The premise is good - a young girl kidnapped by her father moves constantly until she is 16 years of age and learns to be happy only when she is leaving. There is a good counter story - a detective and then his daughter obsessed with finding the young girl, but then when he finds her, just follows her. There are several secrets, and there is a new boyfriend who cannot accept his loss. The writing is good. In the end, however, the outcomes do not satisfy. I'm sure there are reasons for those endings, but they just didn't sit well with this reader. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/16900220-last-night-in-montreal-paperback-august-4-2015](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/16900220-last-night-in-montreal-paperback-august-4-2015) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
