What a wonderful book! I read it in two days because I couldn't put it down. A fascinating combination of mystery, history and contemporary characters. I also loved the American in Paris theme that was underneath and the growth of Julia from self-conscious to confidant was wonderfully enriching to read.

Was it just me, or was anyone else weirded out about the story of a little white girl (named Lily, FYI!) learning the 'secrets' of the poor Black women who raise and take care of her (first her nanny, then the Calendar sisters--who only have voice in the text via Lily). It's been a few years, but I remember feeling like the entire book had a white savior feeling to it--and being bored sometimes.
