Description：

Four years into her marriage, Iris Langford learns that her husband — Tristan Hale, the boy she trailed after her whole childhood, the man she has loved her entire life — has a son with another woman.

He calls it a drunken mistake and begs to be forgiven. She tells him, coldly, that she'll forgive him when he's dead.

She never imagines how those words will come true.

What follows is a slow unraveling of everything Iris believed: about the affair, about the woman behind it, about the illness Tristan hid from her for years to keep her safe — and a final, posthumous truth that arrives far too late to save anyone.

A devastating literary tragedy about childhood love, the secrets we keep to protect the people we love, and the wounds that understanding can never heal.

Contains themes of depression and loss. For readers who want a story that breaks their heart.
