Author Notes:Lesley M. M. Blume is an author and journalist. She lives in New York City, but is a nomad at heart. When she travels the world, she always takes with her a trunk filled with glistening practical-travel things. She has written five previous novels for Knopf, including Cornelia and the Audacious Escapades of the Somerset Sisters , The Rising Star of Rusty Nail , and Tennyson , which the Chicago Tribune praised for its "brilliant, unusual writing."
