About this book
After the loss that no one in the family will name, Ada returns to the coastal town where she grew up to care for her aging father. Over the course of a single winter, they circle the things they cannot say.
Marcus Reed writes with extraordinary restraint, finding whole histories in a shared meal or an unanswered letter.
