A young woman watches her grandparents begin to decline. As she sorts through the couple's belongings, she reflects on the untold stories and unsung bonds that make up our lives. Meanwhile, she moves through life in the city, her own marriage and the struggle to understand what, ultimately, we owe each other. This is a novel about personal and cultural decline, dignity and work, the urban and the rural, the old and the new, and in the midst of it all, the search for something ageless.
