What the House Remembers

Synopsis

To find clues about the lost book, The Crossing Dust, Leonard Brooks rented a century-old house slated for demolition. There, he met Grace Goodwin, his landlord, who was slowly losing her memory to Alzheimer's, and Evelyn Chase, a rare book conservator who had come to restore Mrs. Goodwin's crumbling family photo album. One tried to fight forgetting with a voice recorder. One passively forgot everything. One actively chose not to remember. Three people, each inhabiting a different dimension of memory, uncovered the secrets of the house. Secrets spanning three generations. They found them through the silent testimony of old photo albums, yellowed letters, and antique furniture. And in his search for the lost book, Leonard finally understood the unwritten one. The one made of everyday moments. The one that vanished before anyone thought to notice.
