Title: The visitor
Description: "The Visitor is the haunting tale of Anastasia King, who, at the age of twenty-two, returns to her grandmother's house - the very house where she grew up - after six long years away. She has been in Paris, comforting her disgraced and dying mother, the runaway from a disastrous marriage to Anastasia's late father, the grandmother's only son. "It's a pity she sent for you," the grandmother says, smiling with anger. "And a pity you went after her.

It broke your father's heart." Anastasia pays dearly for the choice she made, a choice that now costs her her own strong sense of family and makes her an exile - a visitor - in the place she once called home."--BOOK JACKET.
