Ava's twenty-five-year marriage has fallen apart, and her two grown children are pursuing their own lives outside of the country. Ava joins a book group, not only for her love of reading but also out of sheer desperation for companionship. The group's goal throughout the year is for each member to present the book that matters most to them. Ava rediscovers a mysterious book from her childhood--one that helped her through the traumas of the untimely deaths of her sister and mother. Alternating with Ava's story is that of her troubled daughter Maggie, who, living in Paris, descends into a destructive relationship with an older man. Ava's mission to find that book and its enigmatic author takes her on a quest that unravels the secrets of her past and offers her and Maggie the chance to remake their lives. 650 0 Parent and adult child|vFiction. 650 0 Mothers and daughters|vFiction. 650 0 Large type books. 650 7 Large type books.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00992678 650 7 Mothers and daughters.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01026997 650 7 Parent and adult child.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01053304 655 7 Large type books.|2local 830 0 Thorndike Press large print core series.
