Summary

1899, Belle Époque Paris. Lucienne's two daughters are believed dead when her mansion burns to the ground, but she is certain that her girls are still alive and embarks on a journey into the depths of the spiritualist community to find them.

1949, Post-War Québec. Teenager Lina's father has died in the French Resistance, and as she struggles to fit in at school, her mother introduces her to an elderly woman at the asylum where she works, changing Lina's life in the darkest way imaginable.

2002, Quebec. A former schoolteacher is accused of brutally stabbing her husband—a famous university professor—to death. Detective Maxine Grant, who has recently lost her own husband and is parenting a teenager and a new baby single-handedly, takes on the investigation.

Under enormous personal pressure, Maxine makes a series of macabre discoveries that link directly to historical cases involving black magic and murder, secret societies and spiritism...and women at breaking point, who will stop at nothing to protect the ones they love....

Perfection.

When I finished this book I was almost in shock, and had so many emotions. Joy, over having read an amazing book. Sadness, because I can never read it for the first time again. Happiness for being utterly fooled by the brilliant storytelling. Annoyance for letting myself be deceived by masks people are putting on. And, most of all, I wanted other people to read the wonderful and thrilling stories from the women in the book.

Everything come together in the end, all of the three women are tied together in some way.

A year after I read The Bleeding, (awful title, which is the reason I waited so long to read it, despite being recommended it by many) I still think about it.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
