Audrey Niffenegger made her debut with the novel “The Time Traveler’s Wife”, and this book literally conquered the world: translations into all languages, multi-million copies, the purchase of film rights by Brad Pitt and the long-awaited film adaptation in 2009 In the same 2009 Niffenegger released a no less long-awaited second novel - a story about ghosts and family secrets, about the shadow-infested past of the metropolis, about love, over which even death (in the most literal sense) does not have power. The dying Elspeth Noblin bequeaths a London apartment to her nieces - the daughters of her twin sister Edwina, who left for the United States with a scandal twenty years ago, and since then the sisters have not communicated. And so Julia and Valentina, also twins, move from Michigan to London, to a new house that stands at the legendary Highgate Cemetery. Who leaves them messages on the dusty lid of a piano, whose cold breath is felt in an empty apartment, who lured the Death Kitten into the house? .
