The novel is set in 19th Century Paris, with the violence of the French Revolution a constant presence underlying all else. As the book opens, Charlotte has tracked down Sylvie to help her with one last spiritualist con. Charlotte promises that Sylvie will never hear from her again after the con is over—and in a moment of weakness Sylvie agrees to help.
From this point on, Spitting Gold offers one twist after another. Spitting Gold is one of those novels that leaves readers imagining multiple possibilities every to there's a turning point in the plot. And it's not just the plot that surprises. As the novel progresses, the reader's understanding of who Sylvie and Charlotte are changes, a bit like looking through a kaleidoscope—one knows what one's seeing, but it never looks the same from one moment to the next.
Spitting Gold is a perfect read for those times when you want to escape to a world between two covers, leaving the "real" world behind for the kind of world—in deed and feeling—that well-written fiction can offer.
