  • "Six years after the phenomenal success of The Time Traveler's Wife , Audrey Niffenegger has returned with a spectacularly compelling and haunting second novel set in and around Highgate Cemetery in London. When Elspeth Noblin dies of cancer, she leaves her London apartment to her twin nieces, Julia and Valentina. These two American girls never met their English aunt, only knew that their mother, too, was a twin, and Elspeth her sister. Julia and Valentina are semi-normal American teenagers--with seemingly little interest in college, finding jobs, or anything outside their cozy home in the suburbs of Chicago, and with an abnormally intense attachment to one another. The girls move to Elspeth's flat, which borders Highgate Cemetery in London. They come to know the building's other residents. There is Martin, a brilliant and charming crossword puzzle setter suffering from crippling Obsessive Compulsive Disorder; Marjike, Martin's devoted but trapped wife; and Robert, Elspeth's elusive lover, a scholar of the cemetery. As the girls become embroiled in the fraying lives of their aunt's neighbors, they also discover that much is still alive in Highgate, including--perhaps--their aunt, who can't seem to leave her old apartment and life behind. Niffenegger weaves a captivating story in Her Fearful Symmetry about love and identity, about secrets and sisterhood, and about the tenacity of life--even after death."

Their English aunt Elspeth Noblin has died of cancer and left them her London apartment. There are two conditions for this inheritance: that they live in the flat for a year before they sell it and that their parents not enter it. Julia and Valentina are twins.

  • "Elspeth war Roberts grosse Liebe. Jetzt liegt sie auf Highgate, dem romantisch verwilderten Friedhof Londons. Aber Elspeth scheint lebendiger als je zuvor, denn die Erinnerungen sind stärker als der Tod. Robert riecht sie, spürt sie, spricht mit ihr. Elspeth lebt weiter, denn sie ist als Geist zurückgekehrt. Alle, die ihr nahestanden, geraten in ihren Bann. Von unsichtbarer Hand lenkt sie die Ereignisse und entscheidet sogar über Leben und Tod. Bis ihre Nichten, die Zwillinge Valentina und Julia, einen fatalen Handel mit ihr eingehen.(Quelle: Klappentext)."
