A novel full of feelings, tenderness, soft irony about family, about meetings and partings, about losses and gains, but above all about love and devotion to loved ones.
Rosa, a young rebel, has disappeared, and her younger sister Clara spends her days at the window, hoping to see her return. The girl watches as a strange man enters a neighboring house. Clara is well aware that the house is occupied by a lonely Elizabeth, who is now in the hospital. Clara has promised her neighbor to keep an eye on the house, and more importantly, on the remaining tenant, the cat Moses. The story, told from three points of view - Clara, Elizabeth, and the house-occupying Liam - shifts the focus from one character to another, revealing ever new layers of dramatic events, past and present, of love, bitterness, affection, and estrangement. A wonderfully written, slightly disturbing and very human novel, with no raging passions, but a lot of sincere and deep feelings.
