Description
On a cold February afternoon, Stella catches sight of a man she hasn't seen for many years, but instantly recognizes. Or thinks she does. At the same moment on the other side of the globe, in the middle of a crowd of Chinese New Year revelers, Jake realizes that things are becoming dangerous. They know nothing of one another's existence, but both Stella and Jake flee their lives: Jake in search of a place so remote it doesn't appear on any map, and Stella for a destination in Scotland, the significance of which only her sister, Nina, will understand.
A haunting story about the ways our families shape our lives, this novel follows two strangers as they are compelled to leave everything behind. One seeks an uncharted refuge, the other a place tied to a hidden meaning known only to her sister. Each choice propels them toward an unknown future, forcing them to confront the distances that have grown between them and the lives they are leaving.
