Beatrix is sent to live with the Gregory family in Boston, where she finds herself in a world starkly different from her war-torn home. The Gregorys—Nancy, Ethan, and their two sons, William and Gerald—provide a life of coastal Maine summers and suburban comfort. Over the course of five years, Beatrix becomes an integral part of their family, forming deep bonds that blur the lines between her biological identity and her adopted one. The novel masterfully captures the internal conflict of a child who feels like she is living two parallel lives, neither of which feels entirely whole.
