From the author of ,The Book of Lost Fragrances, comes a haunting novel about a grieving woman who discovers the lost journal of novelist Victor Hugo, awakening a mystery that spans centuries.,In 1843, novelist Victor Hugoâ€™s beloved nineteen-year-old daughter drowned. Ten years later, Hugo began participating in hundreds of sÃ©ances to reestablish contact with her. In the process, he claimed to have communed with the likes of Plato, Galileo, Shakespeare, Dante, Jesusâ€”and even the Devil himself. Hugoâ€™s transcriptions of these conversations have all been published. Or so it was believed.,Recovering from her own losses, mythologist Jac Lâ€™Etoile arrives on the Isle of Jerseyâ€”where Hugo conducted the sÃ©ancesâ€”hoping to uncover a secret about the islandâ€™s Celtic roots. But the man whoâ€™s invited her there, a troubled soul named Theo Gaspard, has hopes sheâ€™ll help him discover something quite differentâ€”Hugoâ€™s lost conversations with someone called the Shadow of the Sepulcher.,What follows is an intricately plotted and atmospheric tale of suspense with a spellbinding ghost story at its heart.
