What happens when the rules still hold-but no longer make sense?
Brian Desmond didn't choose what happened to his life. Now he must choose what to do about it. All of it.
A dead wife. More questions than answers. Prying eyes. Expectations he never agreed to meet. Where does a life like that even begin again?
The Pale is a novel about grief, restraint, and the quiet violence of composure. With dark humor and emotional precision, it follows a man whose carefully ordered life begins to fracture, revealing the cost of politely smiling and nodding without ever getting the joke.
So what's the solution?
A midlife motorcycle trip.
What could possibly go wrong?
