Synopsis
This novel weaves together disparate stories and meditations, exploring the human experience of movement and belonging. From a Dutch anatomist dissecting his own amputated leg to Chopin's heart being secretly transported, and a woman returning to poison her ill sweetheart, the narratives delve into what it means to be a traveler, a body in motion through both space and time. It's an enchanting, unsettling, and wholly original exploration of our journeys.
