Events › Adult Contemporary Book Discussion: The Cliffs

Join the Lincoln Park Branch for a discussion of The Cliffs by J. Courtney Sullivan.  

"The crumbling Victorian had been abandoned long before Jane ever discovered it as a child. Still, the house became a hideaway whenever Jane needed to escape her volatile mother. Twenty years later, now a Harvard archivist, she returns home to Maine following the dissolution of her marriage and is horrified to find the Victorian is barely recognizable. A rich lady from Beacon Hill has gutted it, and in its place stands a glossy white mansion straight out of a shelter magazine. But the home's new owner is unhappy. Her young son claims to have been speaking to the ghost of a child, and she keeps finding marbles on the floor. Troubled that she might have done something to anger the spirit world, a concept Jane dismisses as daffy, the wealthy woman hires her to research the land."--

Copies of the title are available at the circulation desk.
