A TANGLE OF KNOTS

Lisa Graff

A beautifully crafted story about family, fate, and the connections that run both seen and unseen between us… with just a touch of magic.
In this story, Lisa has created a remarkable world where every person is blessed with a special Talent. Our main character, eleven-year-old Cady, is an orphan with a phenomenal ability for cake baking... and no idea of the journey that Fate set in place for her the moment she was born. But when Cady moves into an upstairs room in the town’s Lost Luggage Emporium, she meets a curious cast of characters whose lives are tangled with her own in ways she never could have imagined. There’s the ragtag group of siblings struggling to grow beyond their Talents, the woman without any words, and the devious thief on a single-minded mission. And the one thing that ties them all together just might lie inside a single powder-blue suitcase. In a story that falls into place like a magnificent puzzle, these encounters hold the key to unraveling the mystery of Cady’s past.

An elegant and inventive storyteller, Graff deftly untangles her characters’ lives to reveal a beautiful connectivity. Written in a style that is part Grimm, part Flannery O’Connor, this book will charm readers and make them wonder if they, too, have a Talent just waiting to be discovered.

Lead title for Philomel’s Spring 2013 list.
