Bel tells Beatrice that times have changed. Just when she is about to give up arguing, a third voice joins the discussion, encouraging Bel to stand up for herself. It’s the voice of Nieta Beta, Bel’s future granddaughter. Eventually, Bel learns that the key to the voices lies in the lost photo. “A piercing, powerful, magical exploration of the magical links between generations.” — Bookbird
