Description: "The Golds were not an exceptional family in suburban Philadelphia. Mr. Gold ran a dry-cleaning business and his wife, Cassie, was a nurse. They had two daughters, Isabel and Jeannie. Mrs. Gold was unpredictable and moody, prone to napping and taking long baths, but it was nothing that couldn't be soothed with a good cup of tea." "Until she killed herself.".

"Haunted by her mother's incomprehensible act, Isabel Gold tests out identity after identity, role after role, trying to inhabit the space left by Cassie and to crack the mystery of her death."--BOOK JACKET.
