Description

Joan, once a singing star of the 1940s and 1950s, now ekes out a lonely, impoverished existence – until a chance encounter promises a come-back concert and an album. Her sister Kathleen is a successful medical researcher who has been offered the directorship of a prestige institute in Los Angeles in her retirement but is facing divorce after her husband's affair. In their old age, Joan and Kathleen draw closer together. Until a figure from Joan’s past threatens everything they've built. As the sisters excavate the lies that bound them together, a more profound truth threatens to drive them apart. Set in three time frames, the novel unravels the sisters’ lives as choices past and present collide.
