Dolores and Mita grow up in lockstep in rural Brazil, speaking their own twin language, watching cartoons, inseparable even when they sleep. But as they reach adolescence, a debilitating degenerative condition emerges in Mita. Without telling Dolores, their parents decide to send Mita across the Atlantic Ocean to a hospital in their father’s native London. The family moves to Rio, and the parents begin to live an expat bourgeoisie lifestyle, pretending like Mita never existed.

Suddenly, they’re skipping the line at the city’s hottest clubs and posing on the cover of Rolling Stone.

On the quad, Yrsa bumps into the professor and witnesses his death: an unfortunate incident involving his San Pellegrino and a bee allergy. What she sees that afternoon awakens something in her: a taste for murder.

Forty-five-year-old Jean Dornan cannot escape the shadow of something she did several decades ago. On a study abroad program to France in the summer of 1998, she embarked on a deeply inappropriate relationship with her professor.

Lucie comes from a long line of witches, ​powers passed down from mother to daughter. Her own mother was formidable in her gifts, but ashamed of her magic. Perhaps as a result, Lucie’s own talent is weak: she can see into the future, sometimes—but more often, she can only see the present of some other location. Most frustrating is that all she can ever see are insignificant details, snippets—a scrap of outfit, the color of the sky.

Two years ago, Bea’s life was upended when her beloved twin sister, Audrey, died. Audrey was captivating, an extrovert, their mother’s golden child.

Retired Chicago detective Cal Hooper has friends here now, and he owes them loyalty, but his fiancée Lena wants nothing to do with Ardnakelty’s tangles.

New York, 1900. At the dawn of a new century, the city’s streets teem with change: electricity, automobiles, a brash young President Teddy Roosevelt—and the It Girls. As artist’s muses and working models, these independent young women soar to stardom not because of their pedigrees or inherited wealth, but because of their talent, charisma, and irresistible beauty. Pop culture is born, and in a world alight with Mr. Edison’s new bulbs, no one shines brighter than America’s sweetheart, Evelyn Talbot.

As the novel opens, “Violaine” returns to Paris from her adopted home of New York City to visit her dying father for the last time. And as his conversation once again obsessively circles the story of his father’s rise and fall during the war, Violaine, who always felt herself and her mother to be exiles within their own clan, becomes herself obsessed with this myth of her grandfather Georges – and especially with the nearly erased story of the most significant of his many mistresses, a beautiful and aristocratic woman named Choute.
