About the story

What happens

Kathleen Somers has lost her family, fortune and health, and has been carried into the hills to die. The landscape she dismisses as empty refuses to remain silent, while an old love and an anxious nurse wait for a change no doctor can prescribe.

A finely observed story of pride, despair and the strange moment when the world becomes visible again.
