An original and radiant novel about grief, obsession, and the need
for meaning from the author of "The Family," a finalist for the
National Book Award.
When his young son dies in a freak accident, Gerard struggles to
find a reason in the smallest of details, including the scrap of
paper containing the Sanskrit alphabet that is found at the site.
Latching on to this final "clue," he delves into the origins of
Indo-European alphabets, his fascination taking him to England,
Greece, and finally, to an ancient site in the Syrian desert where
the alphabet was born some 4000 years ago. Along the way he meets
other grieving parents, who accompany him on a journey that extends
beyond historical knowledge and right into the heart of love and
loss.
