Summary
"In 1920s Edinburgh, Scotland, Evelyn Hazard is a young, middle-class housewife living the life she's always expected--until her husband, Robert, upends everything with a startling announcement: he can communicate with the dead. The couple is pulled into the spiritualist movement--a religious society of mediums and psychics that emerged following the mass deaths of the Spanish flu and First World War--and Evelyn's carefully composed world begins to unravel. And when long-held secrets from her past threaten to come to the surface, presenting her with the prospect of losing all she holds dear, Evelyn finds herself unable to avoid the question: is the man she loves a fraud, a madman, or--most frighteningly--is he telling the truth?"--
