About This Book
A successful but exhausted banker leaves city life for a mountain farm seeking rest and simpler rhythms. As he travels to the rural community he recalls a past, charged encounter with a young woman that fills him with remorse and longing. Encounters with local people and the steadiness of country routines prompt moral and emotional self-examination, while the narrative contrasts urban ambition and financial strain with rural values, examining conscience, desire, and the possibility of personal renewal.
