An enthralling novel about love, loss, secrets,
friendship, and the healing power of literature, by the bestselling author of The
Knitting Circle.
Ava’s twenty-five-year marriage
has fallen apart, and her two grown children are pursuing their own lives
outside of the country. Ava joins a book group, not only for her love of reading
but also out of sheer desperation for companionship. The group’s goal
throughout the year is for each member to present the book that matters most to
them. Ava rediscovers a mysterious book from her childhood―one that helped her
through the traumas of the untimely deaths of her sister and mother.
Alternating with Ava’s story is that of her troubled daughter Maggie, who,
living in Paris, descends into a destructive relationship with an older man.
Ava’s mission to find that book and its enigmatic author takes her on a quest
that unravels the secrets of her past and offers her and Maggie the chance to
remake their lives.
