Awarded the Women's Prize for Fiction, this book comes from the popular author of The Dutch House, Commonwealth, and Bel Canto. It follows the story of magician Parsifal, who lives with his Vietnamese lover, Phan. After Phan's death from AIDS, Parsifal marries his ever-devoted assistant, Sabine. When Parsifal suddenly dies in California, Sabine discovers that his real family, who comes from a poor background in Nebraska, is still alive and is heading to California to meet him. What Sabine must confront is the truth behind Parsifal's fear of returning to his roots.
