Can someone discover at eighty years old that they have been loved in secret their entire life?
Puteoli, autumn 43 BC. Tiro, a freedman and faithful secretary to Cicero, is sorting through the archives of his late master. It is a task he knows by heart-until a locked chest reveals what no one was ever meant to read: unsent drafts and letters bearing his own name, written over the course of forty years.
Puteoli, autumn 43 BC. Tiro, a freedman and faithful secretary to Cicero, is sorting through the archives of his late master. It is a task he knows by heart-until a locked chest reveals what no one was ever meant to read: unsent drafts and letters bearing his own name, written over the course of forty years.
What Tiro is about to discover will change nothing for Rome. But it will change everything for him.
An impossible choice:
- Burn what threatens the legacy of the great orator?
- Publish what belongs to History?
- Keep for himself alone what was never spoken aloud?
The Burned Letters tells the story of this final decision-restrained, slow-burning, and deeply moving-of a man who learns, at eighty years old, that one can be loved in secret for a lifetime without ever having known.
