Summary
Unravel the mystery of words–and people–in this “droll and poignant comedy of manners full of witty insights and oddball characters, as well as a mystery with a one-of-a-kind unfolding” (The Wall Street Journal). Emily Arsenault’s “quirky, arresting debut” (Publishers Weekly) is heir to the fiercely intelligent novels of Jasper Fforde in this story about definitions–of words, of who we are, and of the stories we choose to define ourselves.
