Description

‘I have goosebumps just talking about this story’ REESE WITHERSPOON
‘Smart, funny – and furious’ MARIE CLAIRE
‘Genre-busting ... A clear-eyed deconstruction of skewed value systems’ FINANCIAL TIMES

It’s 1985 and Anita de Monte, a rising star in the art world, is found dead in New York City. Thirteen years later, art history student Raquel is preparing her final thesis, feeling the pressure to work twice as hard for the same opportunities as the wealthy students around her. Anita’s name – and the mysterious circumstances around her death – has all but faded from view.

When Raquel becomes romantically involved with a well-connected older student, she finds herself unexpectedly rising up the social ranks. But then she stumbles upon Anita’s story, and is struck not only by the question of who gets to leave a legacy, but by how her own relationship eerily mirrors that of the forgotten artist . . .

* A NEW YORK TIMES, ELLE AND GOOD HOUSEKEEPING HIGHLIGHT *
