This fierce and beautiful story charts the histories of two women: Rae, young, unmarried, and far from home, awaits the birth of her first child. Lila, a fortune-teller with no interest in the future, lost her own daughter more than a quarter of a century earlier in New York. When these two women meet in Southern California, it's earthquake weather - the time when unexpected things happen. Immediately, their lives and fortunes become intertwined, as Rae tries to break away from the man she has been with since high school and Lila reaches into the past to search for the child she lost.
This contemporary world is set against a series of Russian folktales told by an old woman who lives at the edge of Manhattan, in a place so well hidden it can only be found once in a lifetime.

Not for me

The book is about two separate lives that hardly touch and do not grow together.
The past is delved into but nothing is resolved.
Same for the present.
I just came away feeling sad. Yes, ofc, the story of a woman missing her child is always sad. But this seemed to be the only thing this book was about. And quite frankly, I had enough. So many stories of the same. Let's do something about it. Or at least write better stories, that ARE stories, that go somewhere.
Beautifully told, but it there is no story
