What world would we make then?”Eve is at a breaking point. Alone with her two children in Massachusetts while her husband pursues his music career in New York City, she’s frustrated, bored, and above all, lonely when she runs into Demeter, a childhood friend with whom she shared one transformative summer. Demeter is as beautiful and charismatic as Eve remembers, but she’s also distraught. Demeter’s daughter, like a growing number of others, young and old, cannot go outside during the day. No one knows why, and doctors are skeptical that these people–soon dubbed Emilys, after a famously reclusive local poet–are telling the truth. But Eve believes her friend, whose company revives her and gives her purpose. She will help Demeter–if she can just figure out how.Eve’s search for answers brings her into the fold of an unlikely band of detectives–the local librarian and the town’s most prolific writer of letters to the editor, who both loved the same woman and now hate each other; an actor hoping to make amends for past mistakes; a hermit botanist whose seed collection might hold a clue if she’d only open her door.
