520    "A dazzling new novel of friendship and redemption in the 
       face of tragedy and loss set in 1980s Chicago and 
       contemporary Paris, by the acclaimed and award-winning 
       author Rebecca Makkai In 1985, Yale Tishman, the 
       development director for an art gallery in Chicago, is 
       about to pull off an amazing coup, bringing in an 
       extraordinary collection of 1920s paintings as a gift to 
       the gallery. Yet as his career begins to flourish, the 
       carnage of the AIDS epidemic grows around him. One by one,
       his friends are dying and after his friend Nico's funeral,
       the virus circles closer and closer to Yale himself. Soon 
       the only person he has left is Fiona, Nico's little 
       sister. Thirty years later, Fiona is in Paris tracking 
       down her estranged daughter who disappeared into a cult. 
       While staying with an old friend, a famous photographer 
       who documented the Chicago crisis, she finds herself 
       finally grappling with the devastating ways AIDS affected 
       her life and her relationship with her daughter. The two 
       intertwining stories take us through the heartbreak of the
       eighties and the chaos of the modern world, as both Yale 
       and Fiona struggle to find goodness in the midst of 
       disaster"--|cProvided by publisher
