About this audiobook
He walked into her gallery looking for a fight, or a feeling, or an exit. She gave him none of the three.
His late wife is everywhere — in the locked canvases, in the studio he keeps as a shrine, in the gallery trustee who once called her best friend and now watches every move with quiet precision. Three years into grief he has never quite allowed himself, a celebrated British painter is not a man who belongs in anyone’s future.
But a New York winter has a way of dissolving careful plans. And Sophia Chen — daughter of immigrants who equated stability with love, a woman who builds things brick by careful brick — finds herself standing at the edge of something she did not ask for.
What follows is not a clean love story. It survives opposition, a devastating London visit, a fracture in Venice that almost ends everything, and a creative battle over canvases that belong to the dead. They marry without resolving everything. They open a gallery knowing the risk.
