It is a novel that affords its characters that rare chance we all long for-the chance to reimagine the stories of our lives while there's still time ( From the publisher.) Harriet Wolf's Seventh Book of Wonders, Julianna Baggott's most sweeping and mesmerizing novel yet, offers a profound meditation on motherhood and sisterhood, as well as on the central importance of stories. It's also a tribute to her lifelong love of the boy she met at the Maryland School for Feeble-minded Children. It's a story that spans the entire twentieth century and is filled with mobsters, outcasts, a lonesome lion, and a home for wayward women. Meanwhile, Harriet whispers her true life story to the reader.

When Eleanor is hospitalized, Ruth decides it's time to do right by a pact she made with Tilton long ago: to return home and save her sister. Harriet Wolf's Seventh Book of Wonders tells the moving story of the unforgettable Wolf women in four distinct voices: the mysterious Harriet, who, until now, has never revealed the secrets of her past her fiery, overprotective daughter, Eleanor and her two grown granddaughters-Tilton, the fragile yet exuberant younger sister, who's become a housebound hermit, and Ruth, the older sister, who ran away at sixteen and never looked back. Does the truth lie in the rumored final book of the series that made Harriet a world-famous writer, or will her final confession be lost forever? Years after her death, as her family comes together one last time, the mystery of Harriet's life hangs in the balance.

The reclusive Harriet Wolf, revered author and family matriarch, has a final confession-a love story.
