In this poignant and thought-provoking novel, Eliot Granger-a meticulous retired librarian with early-onset Alzheimer's-receives an unexpected visitor who changes everything.
When a young woman named Clara appears claiming to be his daughter from another timeline, Eliot is skeptical yet intrigued. She offers him an extraordinary gift: experimental quantum technology that can temporarily preserve his cognitive function as his disease progresses. With this borrowed time, Clara encourages Eliot to reconcile with his estranged son Julian before it's too late.
