Her Fearful Symmetry

內容簡介

內容簡介 From the author of the #1 bestselling The Time Traveler's Wife, a spectacularly compelling gothic ghost story--set in and near Highgate Cemetery in London, about the love between twins, men and women, ghosts and the living. Julia and Valentina Poole are sisters with an intense attachment to each other. One morning the mailman delivers a thick envelope to their house in the suburbs of Chicago. Their English aunt Elspeth Noblin has died of cancer and left them her London apartment. There are two conditions for this inheritance: that they live in the flat for a year before they sell it and that their parents aren't allowed inside. Julia and Valentina are identical twins. So were the girls' aunt Elspeth and their mother, Edie. The girls move to Elspeth's flat overlooking Highgate Cemetery, where Christina Rossetti, George Eliot, Stella Gibbons, and other luminaries are buried. Julia and Valentina become involved with their living neighbors: Martin, a composer of crossword puzzles who suffers from crippling OCD, and Robert, Elspeth's elusive lover, a scholar of the cemetery. They also discover that their inherited apartment may be haunted--and that much is still alive in Highgate, including, perhaps, their aunt.
