About this listen

Aila Quinn's mother, Juliet, has always been a mystery. Vibrant yet guarded, she keeps her secrets beyond Aila's reach. When Juliet dies, Aila and her younger brother, Miles, are sent to live in Sterling, a rural town with mysteries of its own. In Sterling, the experiences that weave life together - scents of flowers and food, reflections from mirrors and lakes, even the ability to dream - vanish every seven years. No one knows what causes these Disappearances or what will slip away next. But it has always been suspected that Juliet was somehow responsible, so Aila, bearing the brunt of that blame, follows the chain of literary clues her mother left behind. As the next Disappearance nears, Aila begins to unravel the dual mystery of why the Disappearances happen and who her mother truly was. One thing is clear: Sterling isn't going to hold on to anyone's secrets for long.

Interesting story and characters, narrator was great. Just a wonderful read! The 1940’s timeline was refreshing, no swearing.

I loved this book!

Emily Bain Murphy suspends clever ideas so well and threads them effortlessly, including strange happenings and divergent timelines that seem at first unrelated. It’s a wonderful magic trick to bring it all together so well. The book kept me entranced and guessing. Not to mention, the writing was stellar.

Such a satisfyingly good novel!

I enjoyed this book, I will say that I almost gave up in the beginning because I am not generally inter in books set in the 1940’s and I didn’t realize that this was the case with this book. I am so glad I stuck it out.

Really enjoyed
