Audrey Niffenegger became famous overnight. Her debut novel, The Time Traveler's Wife, published by a small independent Californian press, literally conquered the world: it was translated into numerous languages, sold 9 million copies, and the film rights were purchased by Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston (star of Friends) while still in manuscript form. Gus van Sant was considered for the film, but Robert Schwentke was ultimately chosen, with Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams starring. A television series based on a script by Steven Moffat (Doctor Who, Sherlock) and directed by David Nutter (The Sopranos, Game of Thrones) was recently released. The long-awaited sequel to The Time Traveler's Wife, The Life Out of Time, is scheduled for release in the fall of 2026. But between them was "My Proportionate Image," and the rights to the Chicago writer's second novel were sold at a fierce auction for $5 million. It's a story of ghosts and family secrets, of a metropolis teeming with the shadows of the past, of a love that even death (in the most literal sense) has no power over.
So, the dying Elspeth Noblin bequeaths her London apartment to her nieces—the daughters of her twin sister, Edwina, who left for the United States twenty years ago amid scandal, and the sisters have not spoken since. And so Julia and Valentina, also twins, move from Michigan to London, and their new home stands near the legendary Highgate Cemetery. But who is leaving them messages on the dusty piano lid, whose cold breath can be felt in the empty apartment, and who lured the Death Kitten into the house?
The publication includes a special foreword, a story by Audrey Niffenegger about how, while working on the novel, she lived in London and led tours of Highgate Cemetery.
