But when the professor fails to show up for their first meeting, it is up to the group to discover why they have been brought together.This novel, part mystery, part love story, and part magical realism, blurs the boundaries between what is real and what is fictional.The young adult series, The Elodie Fontaine Mysteries, featuring a lesbian high-school sleuth, is spun off from this book.
