A New York Times and a LitHub Most Anticipated Book of 2026

"A warm novel about connection, loss and imagining place."-Naoise Dolan, author of Exciting Times

"Italian literature has been waiting years for a novel like this."-Vincenzo Latronico, author of Perfection

Mina is thirty years old and leads a life in London built with great care but little spontaneity. One evening she receives a phone call from her mother. Her father is dead.

After returning home for the funeral, Mina ends up staying. Home is a small seaside town, where her Moroccan father ran a beach bar frequented mostly by migrants; a place of refuge for those who felt unwelcome in this new land.

It's here, in a place where people appear like ghosts who pass and vanish, that Mina connects with her family and rediscovers memories of her father, that mythical, elusive migrant with a mysterious past. Surrounded by the sea, Mina will find that roots are a fleeting dream-a desire to find a common history that will allow her to forget, at least at times, the wounds of abandonment.
