Description

After years of keeping the world at a careful distance, May Attaway decides to reconnect with the people who shaped her life. A solitary gardener grieving a profound loss, she sets out to visit three old friends, following a private set of rules meant to protect both host and guest—and discovering that human connection rarely obeys tidy boundaries. Moving between past and present, the novel explores friendship, loneliness, grief, memory, and the courage required to let others truly see us. Quietly perceptive and emotionally nuanced, it offers a thoughtful portrait of a woman learning how to return to the world.
