About this audiobook
Walt Sorensen has lived on Mercer Row for thirty-one years, and for nineteen of them he has been owed. A property line. A strip of his own ground the width of a porch step that the neighbors took and forgot. He never made a scene. He swallowed it, kept the peace, and came to believe the swallowing was the very shape of his decency.
Then his wife dies in the early spring, and at the reception a careless word reopens the old wound. The grudge does not fade the way grief is supposed to soften a man. By morning it is one inch larger and clean as a blade, and it has stopped feeling like a wound and started feeling like a verdict.
What follows is one long season in a small dimming town, where a quiet street begins to come undone, house by house, each ruin reading to him as something owed.
