Description
In this sequel to the acclaimed novel The Genealogist, Alice Tolson adapts to life in Canada following years spent in a Liverpool orphanage. When her father's death in England leads to a long hoped-for return to the city of her birth, Alice's life changes significantly. There, she reunites with her childhood best friend and an aunt; Alice learns of a long-buried family secret and comes to question her goal of resuming life in England. Returning to Montreal, Alice realizes reliving her past pales in comparison to the happiness she derives from her life in Canada and plans for a future she could never have predicted. Alice's saga is a testament to her resilience and strength of character, which serve her well, in contrast to the qualities of a man she desperately hopes to meet.
