When a translator receives a notification that she’s won the prestigious Eleonore J. Hopewell Translation Residency in Austria, she can’t believe it—mostly because she forgot she applied. Plagued by ADHD since she was a child, the residency is a fresh start after her failed MFA. But all is not as it seems. . .
​     Drawn into a power play between two charismatic women, author Therese and her translator Eleonore, the resident quickly begins losing herself—and running out of her medication doesn’t help. Neither does the fact that she begins falling for Therese, or the fact that Eleonore’s resentment is starting to grow into outright hostility. More and more she finds herself in rooms she didn’t remember walking to, losing objects she swears she had a minute ago, and hearing ghosts in the walls of the old manor. As the weeks wear on, she must confront the fact that it may not be her mind playing tricks on her, but that either Eleonore or Therese might want her gone. Completely.
