Table of Contents
At 27, Amy Munroe is already a woman with a past. A divorcee with an unladylike talent for advanced mathematics, she doesn't fit anyone's expectations of a successful 1950's London socialite, least of all her own. And then there are the holes in her memory; events Amy can't fully remember, yet can't completely forget, which haunt her dreams at night. However, when she inherits a flat in Paris from a woman she's never met, Amy undertakes to discover not only who her mysterious benefactor is, but also to piece together events that led to her own fractured identity.
