Description
Zach Wells' life is one of quiet desperation. A geologist and paleobiologist, he finds solace in mundane routines - playing chess with his daughter, trading puns with his wife as she practices yoga, and dodging committee work at the college where he teaches. But when a fatal illness strikes his daughter, Zach's world is turned upside down. In a desperate bid to reclaim some sense of control, Zach embarks on a quixotic journey to New Mexico in search of a mysterious plea for help found in a second-hand jacket. As he navigates the complexities of grief and loss, Zach must confront the limits of his own powerlessness. Part of the Picador Collection, this novel is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the human condition.
