Set in post-war Europe, this novel follows a young boy whose past is marked by displacement and trauma. Seiffert writes with restraint, allowing emotional weight to accumulate quietly. Questions of belonging and moral responsibility linger beneath the surface. The legacy of war shapes every relationship. The narrative resists easy resolution. A subtle, deeply affecting exploration of aftermath.
