Description

Women of the Sparrow family have unusual gifts. Elinor can detect falsehood. Her daughter, Jenny, can see people's dreams when they sleep. Grandaughter Stella has a mental window to the future--a future she might not want to see. In Alice's Hoffman's latest tour de force, this vivid and intriguing cast of characters confronts a haunting past--and a very current murder--against the evocative backdrop of small-town New England.
