A DAZZLING NEW NOVEL FROM NATIONAL BESTSELLING AND GMA BOOK CLUB PICK
MARGARITA MONTIMORE, AUTHOR OF OONA OUT OF ORDER
"[A] twisty, genre-defying family drama...Reminiscent of Taylor
Jenkins Reid's Daisy Jones & the Six." --Shelf Awareness (starred
review)
Nearly a decade ago, iconic magician Violet Volk performed her greatest
trick yet: vanishing mid-act. While Violet sought out the spotlight, her
sister Sasha, had to be the responsible one. But Sasha can never seem to
escape her sister's tumultuous orbit. Then there's Cameron Frank,
determined to finally get his big break hosting a podcast devoted to all
things Violet--though keeping his job hinges on an exclusive interview
with Sasha, the last person who wants to talk to him. As the ten-year
anniversary approaches, the podcast picks up steam, and Cameron's
pursuit of Sasha becomes increasingly intrusive. Meanwhile, Sasha begins
to experience an unsettling series of sleepwalking episodes and
coincidences, which all lead back to Violet. Pushed to her emotional
limits, Sasha must finally confront the most painful truths about her
sister, and herself, even at the risk of losing everything.
Alternating between Sasha's narration and Cameron's podcast transcripts,
interspersed with documents that offer a tantalizing peek at Violet
herself, Acts of Violet is an utterly original, propulsive story of
fame, deception, and forgiveness that will make you believe in magic.
