Description

A captivating word game sets the stage for a poignant and thought-provoking novel. Five friends embark on a cross-country train journey in America, unaware they are on the cusp of the COVID pandemic. As each friend takes their turn sharing an experience inspired by an undisclosed word, the game evolves in real-time, revealing unexpected memories and stories.

The narrative follows each character over three years, capturing their unique circumstances and experiences during the pandemic across various locales and moments. The novel invites its readers to delve into the intricate world of language, exploring the mysterious and transformative power of words. As the friends reunite for a second journey post-pandemic, the profound impacts of both the global event and the word game itself come to light.

Divided into three parts, the narrative offers a looping portrayal of time: before, during, and after the pandemic. Rich with atmospheric and lyrical passages, this novel invites readers to immerse themselves in its world, exploring the complex relationships between language, memory, and experience.
