This is a book you not only read -- but see!

Lifelines, the immensely talented Caroline Leavitt's second novel, grips you from page one. As we explore the lives of the women, and plumb the vagueries and anxieties of life, we deeply feel all their joy and pain. In addition, everything from palm reading to photography is described with such great clarity that this is a book you not only read -- but see!
