In a small postwar town on the Central European steppe, three childhood souls find their way back to each other after years apart. Elodie Voss, a doctor returning to care for her ailing grandmother, carries a love she has never spoken aloud. Vera Solano, a young woman preparing to leave for law school, has spent years quietly loving the one person she believes she cannot have. Soren Aldemar, a sailor with a scar on his right arm and music in his hands, has learned not to expect anything from the places he loves. As the meadow gold of postwar reconstruction slowly fades into autumn, all three must reckon with what they kept, what they lost, and what it means to finally stay. A story about silent love, the weight of friendship, and the kind of home that lives in people rather than places.
