    A poignant novel follows a shell‑shocked veteran who, after World War I, wakes with amnesia and builds a new life and marriage; when a sudden restoration of his prewar memories erases the years he spent with his second wife, she undertakes a patient, often heartbreaking quest to reclaim the husband who now remembers a former life, and the story unfolds as a mystery of love, identity, fate and the ways memory and chance shape who we are.
