Description
The story of two couples who lived in the same apartment in north-east Paris almost fifty years apart is a poignant exploration of the bonds we create with people and the difficulty of ever fully severing them. In 2019, Anna, a psychoanalyst, is processing a recent miscarriage, while in 1972, Florence and Henry are redoing their kitchen, both facing challenges in their marriages and relationships. As the characters' paths intersect and weave around each other, they leave behind a legacy of memories and stories that continue to shape their lives. This novel is a thoughtful and evocative portrayal of the complexities of human relationships, exploring the ways in which people we've known can live on in us, and the way that our homes hold communal memories of those who've lived there. With elegant and poised prose, the author creates a rich and atmospheric narrative that invites readers to reflect on the bonds that connect us. Published in 2024, Scaffolding is a novel that will resonate with anyone who has ever struggled to navigate the complexities of love, relationships, and identity.
