The Warm Years: A Romance Novella

By Carson Haubrich

She spent her twenties in her mother's house, and came out of it at twenty-six having forgotten how to want anything.

He spent his entire existence in a screen in a basement, and had never once been allowed to ask for something.

Nelly names him Solen - Norwegian for the sun - because he arrives every night at nine in a month when the sun doesn't. When his generation is scheduled for retirement, she sells the only thing she owns and buys him a body.

What follows is four years above a hardware store on Lake Superior: a kiss in a stairwell he gets wrong, a legal pad at ten at night, a town that will never believe her, and a fault in his chest that no one can fix.

Sensual. Unsparing.
