Slipping back and forth from the present day to nineteenth-century Italy, this is “a gripping novel about obsession and its consequences” (The Seattle Times).

A new life. A new name. A complete break with the past. It’s the only way therapist Victoria Lake can think to protect her college-age son—and herself—from a case turned deadly. As painful as it may be, it’s better he believe she’s dead than let her enemies suspect that she’s not.

Jack could never stand his mother’s insistence that sometimes intuition told her things facts couldn’t. But he has a strange feeling that she’s alive, despite the meticulous police investigation and the somber funeral. Of course, Jack is reconsidering several things his mother said, now that she’s gone.

To survive, Victoria knows she has to reinvent herself completely. She can’t even listen to her beloved Puccini operas. But without the music in her ears, eerie dreams invade her sleep. Lush with the sights and sounds of nineteenth-century Tuscany, they’re also loaded with a very real warning she can’t afford to ignore . . .

Known for blending suspense and fantasy, Louise Marley is the author of The Brahms Deception, praised by RT Book Reviews as a novel that “will keep readers with a love for books like Audrey Niffenegger’s The Time Traveler’s Wife and A. S. Byatt’s Possession on the edge of their seats.” In The Glass Butterfly, she once again displays her talent for understanding the power and magic that lurks just under the surface of our lives.
