From the author of the best-selling, award-winning The Stone Carvers and The Underpainter comes a new novel that explores love, loss, and the transitory nature of place. After Jerome, a young artist on a remote island retreat, discovers Andrew Woodman's dead body frozen in the ice, he meets the elderly man's former lover, Sylvia, who is curious about the circumstances surrounding Andrew's death. Together, Jerome and Sylvia uncover both the secrets of their own pasts and the breathtaking story of Andrew's ancestors.
The author s fine writing and still-waters-run-deep characters prove hypnotic in this elegant and meditative novel about love, relationships and the meaning of home. --People

But it s in the compact family-saga middle, where a slew of Andrew s memorable forebears take the stage, that this novel s luminous heart truly lies. --Publishers Weekly STARRED *
