Description

A vanished brother can turn a family’s ordinary routines into a lifelong mystery, and this novel follows two generations as they chase the same unanswered question. After Caleb disappears with his cello, Daniel and Sarah—each in their own time of grief and discovery—follow the clues Caleb left behind, moving through familiar places that gradually reveal hidden histories. Along the way, tarot readings, music, and intimate conversations shape a story about memory, inheritance, and the ways love can both protect and complicate the truth. With Anne Tyler’s signature warmth and wry precision, the search becomes less about finding a single missing person than about understanding what families choose to say, what they bury, and what they finally dare to face.
