The narrative unfolds through fifty-three letters from Daniel Urwind, an aging bookseller grappling with his wife's absence as she seeks freedom and study in the U.S. His reflections on daily rituals, like window dressing and housekeeping, blend with elements of magical realism, weaving memories, fantasies, and conversations with both the living and the dead. This layering of experience creates a poignant exploration of love's end, echoing themes from Bachelard's Poetics of Space and highlighting the emotional weight of longing and loss.
