About This Book
Paula, drawn into a circle of vivid personalities and occult intimations, becomes entangled with two rival men whose competing influences shape her choices and fortunes. Encounters with a mysterious medium, family secrets and messages from afar reveal intertwined pasts and prophetic hints of a child, while letters and confrontations deepen romantic and moral tensions. Seeking clarity she journeys south and becomes caught in the political and natural upheaval around a volcanic island, where disaster and personal reckonings force decisive change and alter relationships among the characters.
