And if at first, Jane is taken aback by the invitation… well. The idea is for Jane to take some time off, to work on her art, to work through her grief. Upon hearing about Jane’s woes, Kiran – daughter of privilege – spontaneously invites Jane to quit everything (like it is so simple) and come over to her family home, Tu Reviens, an island-based mansion where a Gala will take place soon. Gone are the good times, and Jane’s life has fallen into hard times, working at a bookstore after being forced to quit college, bereft with a grief that is still new and raw.īut then one day, the unexpected happens: the glamorous and super rich Kiran Thrash, Jane’s older tutor, walks back into her life. A wildlife photographer, Aunt Magnolia turned everything into an adventure and has inspired Jane into creating art too – Jane make umbrellas, each one of them uniquely concocted, perfectly shaped by her mood, beautifully crafted by hand.īut Aunt Magnolia died during her latest – last – expedition to Antarctica. Jane is a poor-young-orphaned girl, whose fortunes and misfortunes have shaped her life thus far: her parents died early on and she was brought up by her beloved Aunt Magnolia, someone who not only showered Jane with affection but also showed her the infinite possibilities of life. It starts out simple enough – then it branches out, literally into multiple possibilities. I am SO excited about it and its unlimited sources of joy.
It’s been weeks since I read it and it is still with me in that way that truly great books are. Let me tell you about the coolest book I read all year. She might fall in love, she might lose her life, she might come face-to-face with herself. What Jane doesn’t know is that at Tu Reviens her story will change the house will offer her five choices that could ultimately determine the course of her untethered life. Jane remembers her aunt telling her: “If anyone ever invites you to Tu Reviens, promise me that you’ll go.” Then an old acquaintance, the glamorous and capricious Kiran Thrash, blows back into Jane’s life and invites her to a gala at the Thrashes’ extravagant island mansion called Tu Reviens.
Without Aunt Magnolia, Jane is directionless. Jane has lived a mostly ordinary life, raised by her recently deceased aunt Magnolia, whom she counted on to turn life into an adventure. If you could change your story, would you? Genre: Fantasy? Science Fiction? Mystery? ALL THE ABOVE? Also, YA
