Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. When Rebecca Strand rents a furnished office in Millbrook, she expects tax returns and quarterly reports-not a covenant with the dead.Hidden in the back of a filing cabinet, she discovers Millicent Darrow's ledger: two hundred and forty-seven pages cataloging sixty-two years of emotional debts. Not money owed, but apologies never made, truths deliberately buried, silences that compounded like interest across generations. One entry stops her cold: The town owes Peter Holbrook's mother the truth about her son.Peter drowned in 1982. The death was ruled accidental. But Millicent's meticulous accounting tells a different story-one involving a party at the quarry, a town's protective silence, and a deputy sheriff who chose his son's future over a dead boy's truth.Rebecca is a forensic accountant, trained to find patterns in chaos, to make the invisible visible. But the ledger isn't asking her to solve a mystery-it's asking her to call in debts that can never be fully paid. As she begins sending Millicent's unsent letters, mediating decades-old grudges, and creating space for acknowledgment without demanding confession, Rebecca discovers the hardest arithmetic of all: some debts cannot be paid, but they can be witnessed.When a father confesses to his son, when a town's buried truth surfaces briefly before being scrubbed from the internet, when the weight of forty-four years of silence finally shifts-Rebecca learns that keeping books is not the same as demanding payment. That witnessing matters even when resolution is impossible. That the ledger is not her life, only part of it.For readers who loved Olive Kitteridge, The Sense of an Ending, and The Dutch House-a haunting literary novel about memory, accountability, and the mathematics of what we owe each other.
