Her Fearful Symmetry Book

From the author of 'The Time Travellers Wife', Audrey Niffenegger, comes another completely original novel 'Her Fearful Symmetry', a witty 21st century ghost story set in and around the Highgate Cemetery, London. When bookseller Elspeth dies, she hands over her luxurious Highgate flat to her twin nieces with dramatic and disastrous consequences. Mirror twins, Julia and Valentina Poole, her own twin sister's daughters, had no idea their aunt even existed but her parting gift makes the pair feel like they can finally begin their own lives. The only condition to the will is that the girls have to live in the flat for one year before they can sell it. What Julia and Valentina don't realise is that by accepting the flat, they have been brought into a spider's web of lives, from the obsessive-compulsive man who lives above them, to the mysterious lover of their aunt who lives below them, and the ghost of Elspeth, who's not ready to leave this world or even her flat!Read More

    Amazon Best of the Month, September 2009: Following her breakout bestseller, The Time Traveler's Wife, Audrey Niffenegger returns with Her Fearful Symmetry, a haunting tale about the complications of love, identity, and sibling rivalry. The novel opens with the death of Elspeth Noblin, who bequeaths her London flat and its contents to the twin daughters of her estranged twin sister back in Chicago. These 20-year-old dilettantes, Julie and Valentina, move to London, eager to try on a new experience like one of their obsessively matched outfits. Historic Highgate Cemetery, which borders Elspeth's home, serves as an inspired setting as the twins become entwined in the lives of their neighbors: Elspeth's former lover, Robert; Martin, an agoraphobic crossword-puzzle creator; and the ethereal Elspeth herself, struggling to adjust to the afterlife. Niffenegger brings these quirky, troubled characters to marvelous life, but readers may need their own supernatural suspension of disbelief as the story winds to its twisty conclusion. --Brad Thomas Parsons
