Book
The moon, the stars, and Madame Burova : a novel / Ruth Hogan.
After inheriting her mother's fortune-telling business as a young woman, Imelda Burova has spent her life on the Brighton pier practicing her trade. After a lifetime of keeping other people's secrets, Madam Burova is ready to have a little piece of life for herself. But she still has one last thing to do: fulfill a promise made in the 1970s, when she and her girlfriends were carefree, with their whole lives still before them. In London, Billie has lost her university job, her marriage, and her place in the world when a sudden and unlikely discovery leaves her very identity in question. Determined to find answers, she must follow a trail which leads to Brighton, the pier, and directly to Madame Burova's door. -- Adapted from jacket.
