Annie, Edward, and their young daughter, Rose, live in a
cramped apartment. One night, without warning, they find a beautiful
terrace hidden in their closet. It wasn’t there before, and it seems to
only appear when their friend Stephanie visits. A city dweller’s dream
come true! But every extra bit of space has a hidden cost, and the
terrace sets off a seismic chain of events, forever changing the shape
of their tiny home, and the shape of the world.
Terrace Story follows
the characters who suffer these repercussions and reverberations: the
little family of three, their future now deeply uncertain, and those who
orbit their fragile universe. The distance and love between these
characters expands limitlessly, across generations. How far can the mind
travel when it’s looking for something that is gone? Where do we put
our loneliness, longing, and desire? What do we do with the emotions
that seem to stretch beyond the body, beyond the boundaries of life and
death?
Based on the National Magazine Award–winning
story, Hilary Leichter’s profound second novel asks how we nurture love
when death looms over every moment. From one of our most innovative and
daring writers, Terrace Story is an astounding meditation on loss, a reverie about extinction, and a map for where to go next.
