In her compelling fourth novel, Marian Thurm creates an unforgettable character: a clairvoyant blessed with powers he cannot deny, yearning for a life of ordinary happiness. With eerie and often painful accuracy Victor maps the fate of those who make their way to his Manhattan brownstone. His ordered existence is upset when he becomes infatuated with one of his clients, Katha. Their attraction is mutual, but they must first overcome Katha's reluctance to find a place in her life for someone rooted in a world entirely unfamiliar and mystifying to her. Victor is puzzled by how to proceed. For the clairvoyant the only future unknown to him is his own.
