The Invisible Circus

by Jennifer Egan

In 1978, Phoebe O'Connor postpones her plans to attend Berkeley to retrace the trip through Europe that her older sister, Faith, was taking at the time she died eight years ago. Popular Faith was the favorite of their late father, and Phoebe can't believe that her death was intentional. Phoebe, who now looks very much like Faith did, learns the truth from Faith's boyfriend, who is still living in Munich. Strong language and some explicit descriptions of sex. 1995.
