'Stunning language, raw emotion and profound wisdom' Celeste Ng,
author of Everything I Never Told You 'Solomon's strong prose and
fleet pacing consistently provide the essential pleasures of a good
story well told' Maggie Shipstead, The New York Times Book Review
One night in 1917 Beatrice Haven creeps out of her uncle's house on
Cape Ann, Massachusetts, leaves her newborn baby at the foot of a
pear tree, and watches as another woman claims the child as her
own. A gifted pianist bound for Radcliffe, Bea plans to leave her
shameful secret behind and make a fresh start. Ten years later,
Prohibition is in full swing, post-WWI America is in the grips of
rampant xenophobia, and Bea has returned to her uncle's house,
seeking a refuge from her unhappiness. But the rum-running manager
of the local quarry inadvertently reunites her with Emma Murphy,
the headstrong Irish Catholic woman who has been raising her
abandoned child - now a bright, bold, cross-dressing girl named
Lucy Pear, with secrets of her own...
