Her Fearful Symmetry Book

From the author of 'The Time Travellers Wife', Audrey Niffenegger, comes another completely original novel 'Her Fearful Symmetry', a witty 21st century ghost story set in and around the Highgate Cemetery, London. When bookseller Elspeth dies, she hands over her luxurious Highgate flat to her twin nieces with dramatic and disastrous consequences. Mirror twins, Julia and Valentina Poole, her own twin sister's daughters, had no idea their aunt even existed but her parting gift makes the pair feel like they can finally begin their own lives. The only condition to the will is that the girls have to live in the flat for one year before they can sell it. What Julia and Valentina don't realise is that by accepting the flat, they have been brought into a spider's web of lives, from the obsessive-compulsive man who lives above them, to the mysterious lover of their aunt who lives below them, and the ghost of Elspeth, who's not ready to leave this world or even her flat!Read More
