Description
In this intimate, lyrical novel, a young narrator looks back on a father’s life through the steady power of his words—phrases remembered, lessons retold, and meanings discovered long after they were first spoken. As family stories unfold, the book traces how language can shape identity, comfort grief, and carry love across time. With a gentle, emotionally precise style, Patricia MacLachlan explores themes of memory, inheritance, and the ways children learn to understand the adults they come from. Blending quiet realism with moments of wonder, this is a moving story about connection—how what we’re given in speech can become a guide for living.
