About the book
Many years ago, Iris Greenfeder's mother vanished mysteriously. The family lived at Hotel Equinox where Iris's father worked as the manager and her mother was known for her exquisite, captivating stories. However, one day she boarded a train and never returned, tragically perishing in a hotel fire in Brooklyn under a false identity. Now, as a struggling academic, Iris returns to Hotel Equinox in search of the truth about her mother. Clues lie within her mother's fantastical writings and the memories of those who knew her. It appears that Kay Greenfeder was a woman shrouded in mystery, with no known past. But as Iris delves deeper into the past, she discovers that the truth is far more complex and perilous than she could have ever imagined...
