" Mais la jeune fille ne rêve que d'une chose : avoir, un jour, une famille.

Alles heeft een schaduwkant, zelfs de wereld waarin wij leven. Er is altijd een punt waarop het duister met het licht versmelt – een plek waar deze werelden samenkomen. Er zijn drie dingen die de veertienjarige Olivia nooit heeft gehad: een vader, een moeder en een stem. Als ze kon praten, zou ze het vooral willen hebben over de familie die ze nooit heeft gehad, en hoe 'anders' ze zich voelt dan de andere meisjes in het weeshuis. Maar zelfs mét een stem zou Olivia zwijgen over de schimmen en wezens die alleen zij kan zien.

Olivia Prior ist in einem Waisenhaus aufgewachsen. Ihren Vater hat sie nie getroffen, und die Stimme ihrer Mutter hat sie schon längst vergessen. Geblieben ist ihr nur das Tagebuch ihrer Mutter.

Ihr Leben in dem Heim ist alles andere als einfach, denn sie kann nicht sprechen und kommuniziert mit Hilfe einer alten Schiefertafel. Außerdem sieht sie die Geister der Toten, die ewig stumm das Treiben der Lebenden beobachten. Angst vor ihnen hat sie nicht, schon weil sich Olivia selbst fühlt wie lebendig begraben.

Dreihundert Jahre lang reist sie durch die europäische Kulturgeschichte - und bleibt dabei doch stets allein.
