About
Summary
A man lives in a small city in an apartment above a bakery, plagued by silence and his memories that he has never opened. Each day, he is characterized by routine until he stumbles on Elena, and in the wrong place, a woman whose silent presence puts him on edge and balances him simultaneously. Timed together over a cup of coffee, bits of conversation, the burden of their mutual pasts, he starts to understand that it is the little interruptions, the notes we send, the interruptions we make, the boldness of letting someone see us, that make a connection. The Weight of Quiet Things is a sensitive, thoughtful narrative of solitude, recollection, and how strangers easily find their way into our lives.
