City of ghosts

"Following a whirlwind romance, Isabel Grady has moved halfway around the world to be with her new husband, Danny - formerly her best friend's lover. Far from her apartment in New York City, Isabel finds herself living at the top of an ancient, vine-covered palace. The colors of Nepal are brighter than those at home. The smells are more intense. The sounds are dizzying. The dense heat of the tropical summer gives way each afternoon torrential rains. Overwhelmed by the strangeness of the city but mesmerized as well, Isabel thrills to her new life even as it throws her off balance.". "Left alone in the strange city while Danny leads treks into the mountains, Isabel begins to piece together the truth about her enigmatic husband at the same time that she struggles to carve out a place and identify for herself in this new land. But when she learns that her old friend Anna, Danny's former lover, is coming to Kathmandu, suddenly it seems that her new surroundings and her buried past are conspiring to destroy the life she has created."--BOOK JACKET.
