FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARDS WINNER OF THE STONEWALL BOOK
AWARD - BARBARA GITTINGS LITERATURE AWARD FINALIST FOR THE LA TIMES
FICTION AWARD 'Stirring, spellbinding and full of life' Tea Obreht,
New York Times bestselling author of The Tiger's Wife In 1985, Yale
Tishman, the development director for an art gallery in Chicago, is
about to pull off an amazing coup: bringing an extraordinary
collection of 1920s paintings as a gift to the gallery. Yet as his
career begins to flourish, the carnage of the AIDs epidemic grows
around him. One by one, his friends are dying and after his friend
Nico's funeral, he finds his partner is infected, and that he might
even have the virus himself. The only person he has left is Fiona,
Nico's little sister. Thirty years later, Fiona is in Paris
tracking down her estranged daughter who disappeared into a cult.
While staying with an old friend, a famous photographer who
documented the Chicago epidemic, she finds herself finally
grappling with the devastating ways the AIDS crisis affected her
life and her relationship with her daughter. Yale and Fiona's
stories unfold in incredibly moving and sometimes surprising ways,
as both struggle to find goodness in the face of disaster.
