The Many Lives of Heloise Starchild

Remember me when the comet comes

On the day the comet came, a girl named Heloise was born. She would live a fine life and inherit a fortune, but would meet a cruel, untimely death.

Years later, strange dreams plague Katya Nemcová, a teenager burdened with a rare and curious gift. Memories come to Katya in her dreams—images and stories from a past that isn't her own. Are these ghosts real? And what of the memory she seems to have of Heloise's treasures, two centuries old?

A novel that spans the history of Europe—from revolutionary France to the world wars, the Prague Spring, post-Brexit Britain, and beyond—this is the irresistible, adventurous, and affectionate story of a quite extraordinary woman, her exceptionally talented ancestors, and the curious memories they share.
