A beautifully written story of a tragic past and present threaded together by a deck of tarot cards. A contemporary american woman comes to France to research Debussy but in Paris and the mountainous countryside finds instead the answers to a century old mystery and the painful chronology of her own family history. Good, but the great depictions of French fin de siecle society and a supernatural mystery are marred by repetitions of similie and some failures of form.
