Ruth Weiss has spent her life escaping into books. Now, at forty years old, she feels that literature has ruined her life and that she needs to make a fresh start. This elegant and wry novel explores the complexities of a quiet scholar's search for identity and belonging.

As Ruth navigates the challenges of adulthood, she must confront the consequences of her past choices and consider what the future may hold. A thought-provoking and engaging read, this novel will stay with you long after the final page is turned.
