Description

A haunting, beautifully reported story follows a young girl’s search for meaning in the aftermath of a family tragedy, where the past refuses to stay buried. As she uncovers clues that stretch across time and place, she encounters the lives of others—neighbors, strangers, and those connected by loss—revealing how grief can echo through generations. Blending lyrical storytelling with meticulous attention to history and human detail, the book explores memory, resilience, and the ways communities make sense of the unexplainable. With Dashka Slater’s distinctive, compassionate style, this is both a moving coming-of-age journey and a meditation on what we inherit—whether we ask for it or not.
