Weird & Wonderful Wednesday
Julia is a psychic who is a student at an elite institute for psychics, but, she is driven away from the Institute of Integrated Parapsychology because the woman she thought was her mentor basically psychically attacks her with something from her past (wayy past). Julia winds up in Manhattan, retreating just a bit. But, soon enough she’s back in the psychic game, helping try and track down a missing person who may actually have a connection with Julia’s mother.
There’s definitely a bunch of different stuff going on in this novel. There’s the mother/daughter stuff, and missing artist, and, there’s a lot of stuff in regards the psychic part. Both using it for good, as well as seeing a facility where people can go to recover from psychic attacks. It was a complex, but fun read.

The Vanishers by Heidi Julavits
'How can I say this as a compliment,' said the concierge. 'You will not always be a young or unloved girl.'
"The Vanishers" by Heidi Julavits. 2012.
"Her body registered cures as invaders, as an enemy to defeat. At some point there would be no more cures. Her body would be too familiar, or would know too much."
Heidi Julavits, The Vanishers
"'But you're not my friend,' I said. Alwyn considered this. 'True,' she conceded, flopping back against the couch. 'But I will be.' I registered this as a threat."

"Our relationship was a sensitive coproduction, no one person's brainchild, no one person's fault."
Heidi Julavits, The Vanishers
"Coincidence, of course. But after a while you can begin to feel stalked by coincidence, or as though you can manipulate the world by expressing a narrative desire--this thread is loose, this thread inconclusive. It must be doubled back upon, it must recur."
Heidi Julavits, The Vanishers
