About This Book

A sister returns after many years to live again in her childhood home with her brother, and their warm reunion conceals earlier estrangement caused by family losses and past choices. The narrative traces their cautious reconciliation as he, who has been solitary and run the family affairs, welcomes her and shows her rooms, objects and the garden that hold childhood memories. Scenes dwell on household details and relics, the sister's grief over relatives taken by illness, and the quiet routines and responsibilities that both revive attachment and reveal lingering distance.
