The Architect Who Invited Her Mother to Be Her Next-Door Neighbor

Jess Hinshaw and Kathy Lewis live in a pair of adjoining Brooklyn brownstones that reflect both their individual tastes and their strong familial bond.

這個家族具有貴族血統，成員當中有醫生、工程師、實業經理，以及一位廣受尊敬的學術界人士。然而這個家族也遭受了詛咒。至少在過去兩個世紀以來，其成員遭受了某種名為「致死性家族性失眠」（fatal familial insomnia, FFI）的普利子疾病所苦。他們多是在五十幾歲時發病，最後會因失眠而致死。FFI是種體染色體的顯性突變，代表FFI患者的子女有五○％的機率會遺傳此疾。在整個人類族群裡，FFI的發病率是每千萬人當中才有一人；然而對這個受到影響的義大利家族分支來說，可是每兩個人就有一人會發病。
