One morning the mailman delivers a thick envelope to their house in the suburbs of Chicago. Their English aunt Elspeth Noblin has died of cancer and left them her London apartment. There are two conditions for this inheritance: that they live in the flat for a year before they sell it and that their parents not enter it. Julia and Valentina are twins. So were the girls' aunt Elspeth and their mother, Edie. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe girls move to Elspeth's flat, which borders the vast Highgate Cemetery, where Christina Rossetti, George Eliot, Stella Gibbons, and other luminaries are buried. Julia and Valentina become involved with their living neighbors: Martin, a composer of crossword puzzles who suffers from crippling OCD, and Robert, Elspeth's elusive lover, a scholar of the cemetery. They also discover that much is still alive in Highgate, including--perhaps--their aunt.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scribner Book Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/29\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439165393\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.22h x 6.30w x 1.29d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2009 pg. 59\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/27\/2009 pg. 46\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/15\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2009 pg. 6\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTime\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/21\/2009 pg. 85\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew Yorker (The)\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/21\/2009 pg. 95\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/02\/2009 pg. 66\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTime\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/05\/2009 pg. 69\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeople Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/12\/2009 pg. 54\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRomantic Times\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2009 pg. 58 - Excellent\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/30\/2009 pg. 61\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew Yorker (The)\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/14\/2009 pg. 85\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist Ed Choice Adu Bk YA's\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2010 pg. 10\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Annex\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/25\/2009\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Audrey Niffenegger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44655107965109,"sku":"9781439165393","price":22.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_a31461c5-c23b-4a81-aeb8-8aecd44596c3.jpg?v=1727192057","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/her-fearful-symmetry-9781439165393","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
