A brilliant, original and enchanting ghost story from the internationally bestselling author of The Time Traveler's Wife, now available in paperback from Vintage Canada.
Julia and Valentina Poole are normal American teenagers--normal, at least, for identical "mirror" twins who have no interest in college or jobs or possibly anything outside their cozy suburban home. But everything changes when they receive notice that an aunt whom they didn't know existed has died and left them her amazing flat in a building by Highgate Cemetery in London. They feel that at last their own lives can begin...but as they become embroiled in the fraying lives of their aunt's eccentric neighbours, they discover that much is still alive in Highgate, including--perhaps--their aunt.
