Description
In a world where ordinary life keeps slipping into the uncanny, this novel follows a cast of characters navigating the aftershocks of catastrophe—through memory, media, and the fragile rituals that help people keep going. As their stories braid together, the book moves between intimate interiority and sharply observed public life, tracing how desire, grief, and ambition reshape what “normal” can mean. With Ling Ma’s distinctive, incisive prose, it blends social realism with speculative unease, asking what we inherit from disaster and what we choose to remake in its wake. Ultimately, it’s a meditation on connection and disconnection—on the ways we assemble meaning from fragments, and the costs of trying to feel whole again.
