THE INVISIBLES: A Novel
Cecilia Galante
Releasing August 4th, 2015
William Morrow
In
the vein of Meg Donohue and Jennifer Close, comes Cecilia Galante's adult debut
about the complicated and powerful bonds of female friendship--a compelling,
moving novel that is told in both the present and the past.
Thrown together by chance as
teenagers at Turning Winds Home for Girls, Nora, Ozzie, Monica, and Grace quickly
bond over their troubled pasts and form their own family which they dub The
Invisibles. But when tragedy strikes after graduation, Nora is left to deal
with the horrifying aftermath alone as the other three girls leave home and
don't look back.
Fourteen years later, Nora is living
a quiet, single life working in the local library. She is content to focus on
her collection of "first lines" (her favorite opening lines from
novels) and her dog, Alice Walker, when out-of-the-blue Ozzie calls her on her
thirty-second birthday. But after all these years, Ozzie hasn't called her to
wish a happy birthday. Instead, she tells Nora that Grace attempted suicide and
is pleading for The Invisibles to convene again. Nora is torn: she is thrilled
at the thought of being in touch with her friends, and yet she is hesitant at
seeing these women after such a long and silent period of time. Bolstered by
her friends at the library, Nora joins The Invisibles in Chicago for a reunion
that sets off an extraordinary chain of events that will change each of their
lives forever.
The Invisibles is an unforgettable
novel that asks the questions: How much of our pasts define our present selves?
And what does it take to let go of some of our most painful wounds and move on?
