Publisher's summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Ann Stilwell arrives in New York City, hoping to spend her summer working at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Instead, she is assigned to The Cloisters, a gothic museum and garden renowned for its collection of medieval and Renaissance art.

There she is drawn into a small circle of charismatic but enigmatic researchers, each with their own secrets and desires, including the museum's curator, Patrick Roland, who is convinced that the history of Tarot holds the key to unlocking contemporary fortune telling.

Relieved to have left her troubled past behind and eager for the approval of her new colleagues, Ann is only too happy to indulge some of Patrick's more outlandish theories. But when Ann discovers a mysterious, once-thought lost deck of 15th-century Italian tarot cards, she suddenly finds herself at the centre of a dangerous game of power, toxic friendship and ambition.

And as the game being played within The Cloisters spirals out of control, Ann must decide whether she is truly able to defy the cards and shape her own future...

Bringing together the modern and the arcane, The Cloisters is a rich, thrillingly told tale of obsession and the ruthless pursuit of power.

Disappointed

I had high hopes for this book. I really didn't enjoy the narrator. The way she spoke was so matter of fact and just far to direct.

Also the author really loved reminding us the MC was form Walla Walla 😖

Love triangle with a dash of Tarot

Being mooted as a debit of the year, I expected more in terms of the plot/mystery/supernatural element advertised. What I got was a decent read with an unusual setting, some fairly mundane plot twists and a ‘mystery’ which only the shadow of the possible ‘unreliable narrator’ gimmick keeps alive. At its core it’s a low-grade live triangle and coming of age novel. The tarot aspects feel like they were thrown in as a dress-up theme with little real detail: you never feel like the cards are affecting anything of much, even though they are meant to be key in the story.
