Description
When Elspeth Noblin dies, she leaves her beautiful flat overlooking Highgate Cemetery to her twin nieces, Julia and Valentina Poole, on the condition that their mother never crosses the threshold. Until the solicitor’s letter arrives at their suburban American home, neither twin even knows that their aunt exists. The sisters hope that moving to London will finally allow them to begin separate lives, but they are drawn into a tangle of fraying lives, from the obsessive-compulsive crossword setter living above them to their aunt’s mysterious and elusive lover, who lives below and works in the cemetery. As the twins unravel the secrets of their aunt, who does not seem quite ready to leave the flat even after death, Audrey Niffenegger weaves a haunting and dangerous ghost story about love, loss and identity.
