A family mystery that stretches from a Swiss lakeside house to 1920s Rio de Janeiro.
Reading guide
No earlier reading is needed, as the story opens with the news of Pa Salt's death and the sisters' summons home to Atlantis.
After the death of their adoptive father, the six sisters gather at Atlantis, the family house on Lake Geneva, and each receives a clue to her birth origins. Maia's clue takes her to Rio de Janeiro, where a crumbling mansion opens the story of Izabela Bonifacio, a young woman whose life in the 1920s touches Paris and the building of Christ the Redeemer.

Description

Maia D'Aplièse is the eldest of six sisters, each adopted as a baby by the enigmatic Pa Salt and named after a star in the Pleiades. When news of his death brings them home to Atlantis, the family house on the shores of Lake Geneva, each is left a clue to where she came from. Maia's clue leads her to Rio de Janeiro and a crumbling mansion that holds the story of Izabela Bonifacio.

Izabela's life, in the 1920s, touches Paris and the building of Christ the Redeemer above the city. The novel moves between present-day discovery and a sweeping historical romance, with a family mystery threaded through both. It suits readers who love dual timelines, faraway settings and the slow uncovering of a family's secrets.
