Description
In a quiet kitchen in a small village, a man tells his wife he is leaving—setting out on a circular journey to find their dead son. As he walks, he is joined by other mourners, and together they move through a landscape of memory and loss, seeking connection with what time has taken. Blending the immediacy of a dramatic monologue with the lyric intensity of poetry, the novel turns grief into motion, exploring how love persists, how remembrance reshapes reality, and how the living and the dead keep meeting in the mind. With David Grossman’s signature emotional clarity and imaginative daring, this is a meditation on death that insists on life’s stubborn, haunting presence.
