Synopsis
The second book in Paul Park's critically acclaimed alternative-history series continues the tale of Miranda Popescu, a changeling girl who, although she was born in an alternate reality where Europe is dominated by the powerful country of Roumania, was brought up in contemporary Massachusetts. As the story opens, Miranda's friends, both of whom also seem to have identities that differ from those of their previous lives, search in vain for their vanished companion on the foreign shore of a nonexistent (in this universe) New York river. As they quest to find their friend, even more exotic changes and events take place.

Industry Reviews
"[E]qual parts disconcerting, fascinating and indecipherable."
(02/15/2006)
"Park fortifies his beautiful and baleful Roumanian milieu with deft characterizations and a clever ear for Balkan-spiced dialogue...His long Roumanian rhapsody resembles the ambiguous gem of its title that holds the power to ignite love-it both glows coming-of-age green and empurples with the passion for power."
