Felicia's Journey is a novel written by Irish author William Trevor, first published by Viking Press in 1994.

The father is Johnny Lysaght, a young man from the same town now supposedly working in the English Midlands.

Felicia's father (a staunch Irish republican) is deeply distrustful of Johnny, who is rumoured to have joined the British Army.

He then suggests investigating a factory in another town, and offers her a lift there: he says that he has to drive his wife to a hospital appointment nearby.

On the day, Hilditch explains the absence of his wife (who does not in fact exist) by saying that her operation had been brought forward, and that he had taken her to the hospital the previous evening.

Felicia is discovered on the streets by Miss Calligary, a West Indian evangelical Christian missionary, who offers accommodation at her mission, the Gathering House.

She discovers the loss of her money, and returns to the mission to make enquiries: Miss Calligary and the other residents take offence at the suggestion of theft.

In the course of their conversation, Miss Calligary realises that he is the man mentioned by Felicia as having helped her; but Hilditch denies any knowledge of the girl.

He is troubled by the incident – and the implications for his own security – and over the following weeks loses his appetite for food and for life.

Publishers Weekly in a starred review stated the novel "is a thriller lifted to the level of high art, and it should win Trevor many new admirers.
