Publisher's Synopsis
As the Spanish Flu pandemic promenades through the streets of East Boston, quarantined inside the brownstone tenement, Jimmy Quinn, eyes pressed against the keyhole of a forgotten door, watches her. The mysterious girl dances silently. The only sound is his beating heart. There is no music.
She knows he is watching. A relationship will begin. Clara's only desire is to dance for a world caught in the grip of the Spanish flu. This will mean leaving the safety of the tenement, going outside where the pandemic breathes destruction. Will Jimmy Quinn risk all to follow the carefree and untroubled girl, who has stolen his heart, into the streets of Boston to watch her dance before the Gripe Española steals her away.
