Summary: "The highly anticipated second novel from Sarai Walker, following her "slyly subversive" (EW) cult-hit Dietland-a feminist gothic about the lone survivor of a cursed family of sisters, whose time may finally be up"-- Provided by publisher.Summary: "The highly anticipated second novel from Sarai Walker, following her "slyly subversive" (EW) cult-hit Dietland-a feminist gothic about the lone survivor of a cursed family of sisters, whose time may finally be up. New Mexico, 2017: Sylvia Wren is one of the most important American artists of the past century. Known as a recluse, she avoids all public appearances. There's a reason: she's living under an assumed identity, having outrun a tragic past. But when a hungry journalist starts chasing her story, she's confronted with whom she once was: Iris Chapel. Connecticut, 1950: Iris Chapel is the second youngest of six sisters, all heiresses to a firearms fortune. They've grown up cloistered in a palatial Victorian house, mostly neglected by their distant father and troubled mother, who believes that their house is haunted by the victims of Chapel weapons. The girls long to escape, and for most of them, the only way out is marriage. But not long after the first Chapel sister walks down the aisle, she dies of mysterious causes, a tragedy that repeats with the second, leaving the rest to navigate the wreckage, to heart-wrenching consequences. Ultimately, Iris flees the devastation of her family, and so begins the story of Sylvia Wren. But can she outrun the family curse forever?"-- Provided by publisher.
