The evocative story of one girl’s pursuit
of the truth behind her family’s past.
Tennyson
LESLEY M. M. BLUME
IT’S 1932, THE Depression. Things are evening out among people
everywhere.
Tennyson Fontaine and her sister Hattie live in a rickety shack of a house
with their mother and father and their wild dog, Jos. There is no school,
only a rope swing in the living room and endless games of hide-and-seek in
the woods on the banks of the Mississippi. But when their mother
disappears and their father sets off to find her, the girls find themselves
whisked away to Aigredoux, once one of the grandest houses in Louisiana,
and now a vine-covered ruin.
Under the care of their austere Aunt Henrietta, who is convinced the girls
will save the family’s failing fortunes, Tennyson discovers the truth
about Aigredoux, the secrets that have remained locked deep within its
decaying walls. Caught in a strange web of time and history, Tennyson
comes up with a plan to bring Aigreoux’s past to light. But will it bring her
mother home?
Lesley M. M. Blume is the critically acclaimed author of Cornelia and the
Audacious Escapades of the Somerset Sisters and The Rising Star of Rusty Nail. She
lives in New York City, New York.
