About This Book

The narrative opens in a country household where a restless father wakes to a gray, unseasonable morning that mirrors mounting unease. Business connections with continental partners falter through missing shipments and stalled communications, while diplomatic tensions and recent violent events abroad intensify uncertainty. Neighbors and children provide intimate domestic counterpoint, and the story traces how private anxieties about responsibility and the unknown intertwine with escalating national and international worries.
