In this debut novel, the long shadow of the Holocaust casts its darkness over two sisters and an emerald necklace that both connects them and tears them apart, entangling one more young woman, Lucy Rey, in its mystery. Now, eighty years after the necklace was lost, it takes Lucy up and over the majestic Dolomite mountains of northern Italy in a cinematic search to find the jewels and the sister who seems to know where they are – and who they belong to.

Dr. Linda Burghardt, Scholar-in-Residence, will lead the discussion.
