"Forse andrà tutto bene, ho pensato. Forse, quando andrò al lavoro, ci sarà pace, e Theobald smetterà di saltare di piede in piedi, ed Eva non sarà più bella".
Gert Hardcastle conduce una vita di isolamento, catalogando i manufatti egiziani in un museo settentrionale fino a quando la Prima Lettera cade sulla sua scrivania. È il giorno in cui incontra il ballo da sala, Eva dagli occhi di iris, e la sua attenta, l"esistenza su palafitte inizia a svelarsi. Mentre Gert inizia il suo strano corteggiamento con Eva, guarda indietro al suo eccentrico, educazione surreale la casa divagante con il suo fantasma vittoriano residente, il suo peculiare, gemello telepatico, suo padre George con la sua fattoria di coccodrilli di famiglia, e la sua bella, madre negligente Jean, le cui lettere continuano a disturbare la sua pace.
La storia classica della pluripremiata autrice Julia Darling sulla ricerca dell"amore, identità e accettazione è divertente, commovente e bizzarro a turno, mentre Gert impara gradualmente che il suo viaggio verso il futuro deve passare attraverso il passato.
