A luminous story of grief, identity, and quiet transformation.
When Boris leaves sunlit Greece for the misty streets of Edinburgh, he carries more than just luggage - he carries the silence of sudden loss. As he begins university, a deeper journey unfolds: one of mourning, memory, and becoming.
In this heartfelt coming-of-age novel, friendships blossom, love surprises, and the past gently resurfaces. Through letters never sent, rainy mornings, and unspoken truths, Boris begins to rediscover beauty and meaning - not despite his grief, but through it.
Set against the evocative backdrop of Edinburgh, this novel is a tribute to those who search for light in the darkest moments. For readers who have ever felt like outsiders - in a new place or in their own skin - this story offers hope, tenderness, and the quiet courage to begin again.
