Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Claire Bellamy restores houses the world has forgotten. She keeps the burned places and the worn wood - the marks left behind by the people who once loved them. She has spent twenty years making homes for others while keeping none for herself.When she arrives at a remote adobe in the New Mex…ico mountains to begin a restoration, she discovers that the woman who hired her has died only weeks before - leaving behind a grieving husband, Daniel, and a house he is preparing to let go.But the house is not empty.As summer storms gather over the mountains, messages begin appearing on an old chalkboard in a handwriting that should not exist - guiding Claire through the work, revealing what the walls remember, and drawing two wounded strangers slowly, impossibly, toward one another.The Shape of Rain is a haunting, deeply human novel about grief, healing, and the people who change us long after they're gone. She restores forgotten houses but keeps none of her own. At a remote New Mexico adobe, the woman who hired her is dead-and a chalkboard answers in a hand that should not exist.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Some memories refuse to stay lost.In a small Montana town, thirty-eight-year-old writer Sara Mitchell has been alone for nine years. Her work is solitary, her cat is gone, and her evenings are quiet. She has stopped expecting much from her life.Then she starts dreaming of a little girl.The g…irl wears a yellow sweater and a green clip in her hair. She is always eight years old. She sits with Sara on a porch that does not exist, beside a lake Sara has never seen. The girl tells Sara things - small, impossible things - that turn out to be true. Mack misses you, she says, naming Sara's cat. Claire hates red wine. The girl calls herself Bug.Two thousand miles away, in Boston, an architect named Zach Holm is finishing eighteen months of grief. His relationship has ended. The woman he loved told him he could not let something go.

He has thought of her every day since.When a small twist of professional good fortune brings Zach to Montana, he walks into an antique shop in Livingston and meets the woman behind the counter's friend - a writer who, it turns out, has been dreaming his daughter for two months.She isn't his daughter yet.But she is doing everything she can to make sure she will be.Across letters from a dead woman who knew Bug too, across plans for a house Zach has been drawing without understanding why, across dreams that arrive in late-afternoon light, Sara and Zach come to recognize that they have both been moved toward each other for longer than they have known each other. The child who is engineering it all is running out of time. She has been visible for years. She is about to become a body.bug is a quiet, luminous novel about the threads that bind people across time - the kinds of knowing that arrive before language, the patient work of being found, and what happens when we say yes to something we cannot quite explain.A novel for readers of Nicole Krauss's The History of Love, Audrey Niffenegger's The Time Traveler's Wife, and Kent Haruf's Plainsong. Set in the small-town Montana landscape of Livingston, Park County, and the Absaroka Range, bug is the ninth novel from Michael Jonathan Hyde. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. At forty-five, Alice goes to Paris because she cannot finish a book. On a small street in the sixth arrondissement she walks into a bookshop she will never find again, and an old bookseller hands her a small dark-cloth volume and tells her, simply, "Read it slowly." The book is called And Th…ey Loved.Back home in Jackson, Wyoming, Alice opens the book and discovers that its first chapter describes, in patient and unmistakable detail, the morning she is about to live. The green mug. The pencil mark in the manuscript margin. The walk to the coffee shop, where, on the second chapter, a man in a brown felt hat and worked-in boots will tip his hat to her on his way out the door.What follows is a quiet, devastating love story told one chapter at a time - Alice's and the bookseller's, Alice's and her oldest friend Sam's, and above all Alice's and Alex's, a Wyoming rancher whose life she walks into and who walks into hers. But the book on her desk knows things she does not. It knows about a man from her past who is coming back. It knows about a child not yet born to her who will become her daughter. It knows what she will choose, and what she will lose, and what she will build out of the losing.And They Loved is a novel about being read by your own life - and about saying yes to it anyway. A Paris bookseller hands Alice a small dark-cloth book and tells her to read it slowly. Back home in Wyoming, she discovers each chapter describes her life one day before she lives it - including the love story she has not yet lived. This item is printed on demand.
