- Summary:
- The novel follows a married couple, an artist and a physicist, who confront unresolved grief connected to the physicist's deceased daughter. When he joins a research initiative investigating time travel, he becomes involved in high-risk experiments that raise the possibility of encountering his past. At the same time, his spouse returns to her own earlier experiences in Japan, revisiting significant relationships and personal history. As both characters navigate emotional and scientific uncertainties, they uncover information that calls the nature of the research into question. The narrative addresses themes of memory, loss, scientific exploration, and the complexities of human relationships.
