Summary

Magdalena has an unsettling gift. She sees the truth about people written on their skin - names, dates, details both banal and profound - and her only relief from the onslaught of information is to take off her glasses and let the world recede. Mercifully, her own skin is blank. When she meets Neil, she is intrigued to see her name on his cheek. He's in Paris for the summer, studying a medieval pilgrimage to the coast of Spain, where the body of Saint Jacques is said to have washed ashore, covered in scallop shells. Magdalena, desperate to make things right after her best friend dies - a tragedy she might have prevented - embarks on her own pilgrimage, but not before Neil falls for her, captivated by her pale eyes, charming Eastern European accent and aura of heartbreak.
