"A dazzlingly original new novel from the acclaimed author of The Borrower. Now, Makkai returns with an ingenious novel set on an historic estate that once housed an arts colony. Doug, the husband of the estate's heir, desperately needs the colony files to get his stalled academic career back on track. But what he discovers when he finally gets his hands on them is more than he bargained for. Doug may never learn the house's secrets, but the reader will, as Makkai leads us on a thrilling journey into the past of this eccentric family"-- Provided by publisher.

Doesn't live up to its review submitted by sara on July 21, 2014, 9:05am I didn't find it as "dazzlingly original" as the catalog description says. It was an interesting concept to write the book only backwards in time: 1999 to 1955 to 1929 to 1900, but the further back the story went, the less interesting it became.
