Omtale The probable future
When the women in the Sparrow family reach thirteen, they develop a unique ability. In young Stella Sparrow's case, the gift, both a blessing and a curse, turns out to be the ability to see a person's probable future. Stella foresees a gruesome murder, and tells her charming, feckless father about it, but too late. The murder has already been committed and suspicion falls on him. Her mother Jenny, can read other people's dreams, but sometimes misinterprets them, to her own cost. In Unity, Mass., families go back years, and the same prejudices and mistakes are recycled over generations. Stella herself brings light and irreverent curiosity to this closed world (and falls in love), but the dark thread of the past meets the sinister trail of contemporary murder in the frightening climax to her gripping tale.
