Description
A woman’s search for relief begins with a visit to a hypnotist, but the real journey unfolds as buried memories and family history resurface with startling clarity. When a funeral draws relatives back together, the gathering becomes more than a moment of mourning—it’s a catalyst for reunion, confession, and the reexamination of old wounds. As the past presses in, the excavation of a long-forgotten site reveals how family stories can be both shelter and burden, shaping what people believe about themselves and one another. With Lee Smith’s lyrical, emotionally precise storytelling, this novel explores memory, inheritance, and the ways grief and longing can transform a household into a reckoning.
