Ever since her twin sister's fatal accident nine years ago, Maeve Leahy has been haunted by the sound of music and disturbing dreams-remnants of a childhood she has worked hard to leave behind her. An attempt to escape these memories brings Maeve to an auction house; here, she is compelled to buy an ancient sword similar to a dagger that her ten-year-old self had lost on a seaside adventure with her twin. This mysterious sword takes Maeve on a journey to Rome, where she finally comes to terms with her tragic past. Verdict Walsh's debut seamlessly weaves together past and present. This tender tale of sisterhood, self-discovery, and forgiveness will captivate fans of contemporary women's fiction.-Suzie Remilien, Long Island Univ.
