Dust and Delay
Nine years after her mother's death, Temi finally opens the drawer she's been avoiding — and finds forty-one unsent letters, one of them addressed to no one in particular. A slow, quiet novel about grief measured in postage that was never bought, and the conversations we keep having with people who are no longer there to answer.
