READER REVIEW _________ 1955 In an apartment on the Lower East
Side, school teachers Dovie and Gillian live as lodgers. Dancing
behind closed curtains, mixing cocktails for two, they guard their
private lives fiercely. Until someone guesses the truth . . . 1975
Twenty years later in the same apartment, Ava Winters is keeping
her own secret. Her mother has become erratic, haunted by something
Ava doesn't understand - until one sweltering July morning, she
disappears. Soon after her mother's departure, Ava receives a
parcel. Addressed simply to 'Apartment 3B', it contains a photo of
a woman with the word 'LIAR' scrawled across it. Ava does not know
what it means or who sent it. But if she can find out then perhaps
she'll discover the answers she is seeking - and meet the woman at
the heart of it all . . . _________ 'Made me cry, took me to
smoke-filled jazz bars, and made me want to dance. A brilliantly
