"A clever, keep-'em-guessing murder mystery, an empathetic yet realistic portrayal of the toll dementia takes, and a meditation on how the brain can bury the most tragic memories.An outstanding must-read." --Booklist, STARRED review One glimpse can unlock six decades of silence. When eighty-four-year-old Edie Green sees her childhood friend Lucy--vanished without a trace in 1951--walking down the street as if nothing has changed, her family chalks it up to confusion.

Everyone knows at least six words from the play; often people know many more. Yet the play--Shakespeare's longest--is more than "passing strange" and becomes deeply unfamiliar when considered closely.
