Synopses
Since being abandoned by her widowered father, Flora lives with her cousin and struggles with memories of a previous life in which she was the child Penelope.
Publisher's Notes
Why does Flora, as a small child, have memories of people, places and events she could not have experienced? As she grows older, the memories increase in intensity and the name Penelope seems to be hers, not Flora, which everyone calls her. In this compelling novel, Flora slowly and painfully learns the source of her ghostly memoires.
