A year after Linda’s death, her family returns to the old house in Northern Ireland where memory still clings to every room.
Linda was the centre of the family: wife, mother, grandmother, scientist, organiser, comforter, and the quiet force who held together lives now scattered across England and New Zealand. Her husband, Mark, has survived the year after her death by writing—turning memory, love, and grief into a shelf of manuscripts dedicated to the woman he cannot forget.
But when he finally lays those books before his children, what he offers as an act of devotion is received as something far more dangerous: exposure, trespass, judgement. Old loyalties harden. Private grief becomes public conflict. And in the shadow of one devastating remark, the family must confront a question none of them is ready to answer:
Who owns the memory of the dead?
