John Banville’s 2006 novel explores the fragmented nature of memory and grief through the perspective of Max Morden, an art historian who returns to the seaside resort of his youth. As he reflects on a transformative summer spent with the wealthy Grace family, the narrative weaves together past and present to examine the lingering shadows of loss and the elusive quality of human experience.
