Description
A mysterious desk, passed through generations and across continents, becomes the silent witness to lives irrevocably altered by loss, love, and historical trauma. From a reclusive novelist haunted by a poet's disappearance to a man uncovering a devastating family secret, and an antiques dealer piecing together a looted past, the novel weaves together disparate narratives bound by this singular object. Krauss masterfully explores the enduring power of memory and the profound ways we grapple with what has been taken from us, ultimately questioning what we inherit and how we make meaning in the face of inevitable change.
