A permanently frozen London is the setting for Roma Tearne's harrowing yet lyrical tale of survival in a dystopian near-future.
Exploring themes of displacement and memory, the narrative centers on a collection of photographs and artefacts from an anonymous donor, representing the lost possessions of individuals uprooted by circumstances like war or migration. The protagonist, drawing from Tearne's own experiences of leaving Sri Lanka during civil unrest, finds solace in creating a museum to house these items. This collection symbolizes the universal search for belonging and the emotional weight of lost memories, offering a sense of rest for those who have left their pasts behind.
