Description
In the 1970s, disgraced historian Pierce Moffett retreats to the New England countryside to pursue a radical theory: that the laws governing reality have changed before—and may change again. His research draws him into the mysterious legacy of a reclusive historical novelist, the enigmatic estate he left behind, and the orbit of Rosie Rasmussen, a woman whose own losses have made her a fellow seeker. Blending alternate history, metaphysical speculation, romance, and fantasy, the novel explores the boundaries between myth and science, belief and knowledge, and the histories humanity chooses to call real. Lyrical, intellectually ambitious, and richly atmospheric, it invites readers toward a hidden world where the past may still possess the power to transform the present.
