Picture Me Gone is a novel written by Meg Rosoff. It depicts the relationship between parents and children, and love and loss. Summary of the Book Mila has an extraordinary talent for evaluating a room - identifying concealed facts and unsaid emotions from clues that others tend to oversee. When Matthew, her father’s best friend, goes missing from his upstate New York home, Mila travels from London to find him, along with her father. She collects all the necessary information about Matthew from his possessions, his wife and baby, and also from the dog he left behind, slowly fixing together the story that the rest had missed. But just when she is about to solve the mystery, an appalling treachery calls into question her faith in the one person she thought she could read best.
