'A gothic, darkly alluring tale that will leave readers spellbound' -- Dua Lipa, Grammy award-winning singer/songwriter
A haunting novel about the boundaries people will cross to keep their dreams alive.
A mysterious stranger shows up at Riccardo's apartment with some news: his grandmother Perihan has died, and Riccardo has inherited her villa in Milan along with her famed butterfly collection.
The struggling writer is out of options. He's hoping the change of scenery in Milan will inspire him, and maybe there will be some money to keep him afloat. But Perihan's house isn't as opulent as he remembers. The butterflies pinned in their glass cases seem more ominous than artful. Perihan's group of mysterious old friends is constantly lurking. And there's something wrong in the greenhouse.
As Riccardo explores the decrepit estate, he stumbles upon Perihan's diary, which might hold the key to her mysterious death. Or at least give him the inspiration he needs to finish his manuscript.
But he might not survive long enough to write it.
'Turhan has created a fable that is thrilling, beautiful, mysterious and terrifying. Every expectation is turned on its head, in the most imaginative ways possible...sure to keep readers up all night. A fantastic read by a fantastic writer!' -- Andrew Sean Greer, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of LESS and LESS IS LOST
