Struggling to move on after her husband's death,
thirty-five-year-old Anna receives an unexpected phone call from
her estranged grandmother, Goldie, summoning her to New York. A
demanding woman with a sharp tongue and a devotion to fashion and
etiquette, Goldie has not softened in the five years since she and
her granddaughter last spoke. Now she wants Anna to drive her to
San Francisco to return a collection of exquisite Japanese art to a
long-lost friend.
Hours of sitting behind the wheel of Goldie's Rolls-Royce soften
Anna's attitude toward her grandmother, and as the miles pass, old
hurts begin to heal. Yet no matter how close they become, Goldie
harbors painful secrets about her youthful days in 1940s San
Francisco that she cannot share. But if she truly wants to help her
granddaughter find happiness again, she must eventually confront
the truths of her life.
Moving back and forth across time and told in the voices of both
Anna and Goldie, The Secret of the Nightingale Palace is a searing
portrait of family, betrayal, sacrifice, and forgiveness--and a
testament to the enduring power of love.
