Description

A new novel of friendship and redemption in the face of tragedy and loss, set against the backdrop of the AIDS epidemic in 1980s Chicago and contemporary Paris. Yale Tishman's career is on the rise, but the devastating effects of the epidemic are closing in around him. As he struggles to come to terms with the loss of his friends, he finds solace in an unexpected friendship with Fiona, Nico's little sister. Thirty years later, Fiona's life is marked by grief and regret, as she searches for her estranged daughter who disappeared into a cult. Her journey takes her to Paris, where she reunites with an old friend, a famous photographer who documented the Chicago crisis. As the two women navigate the complexities of their past and present, they must confront the devastating ways the AIDS epidemic affected their lives and relationships. This powerful and moving novel explores the heartbreak of the eighties and the chaos of the modern world, as two women struggle to find goodness in the midst of disaster.
