From barnesandnoble.com: Three wickedly funny sisters.
One family's extraordinary legacy.
A single suicide note that spans a century ...
Meet the Alter sisters: Lady, Vee,
and Delph. These three mordantly witty, complex women share their
family's apartment on Manhattan's Upper West Side. They love each other
fiercely, but being an Alter isn't easy. Bad luck is in their genes,
passed down through the generations. Yet no matter what curves life
throws at these siblings—and it's hurled plenty—they always have a
wisecrack, and one another.
In the waning days of 1999, the
trio decides it's time to close the circle of the Alter curse. But
first, as the world counts down to the dawn of a new millennium, Lady,
Vee, and Delph must write the final chapter of a saga lifetimes in the
making—one that is inexorably intertwined with that of the twentieth
century itself. Unspooling threads of history, personal memory, and
family lore, they weave a mesmerizing account of their lives that
stretches back decades to their great-grandfather, a brilliant scientist
whose professional triumph became the sinister legacy that defines
them.
Funny, heartbreaking, and utterly original, A Reunion of Ghosts
is a magnificent novel about three unforgettable women bound to each
other, and to their remarkable family, through the blessings and the
burdens bestowed by blood.
