The narrative explores themes of isolation, memory, and the search for purpose. The opening of the novel introduces the protagonist, who has chosen a life of seclusion in the mountains after experiencing deep personal pain and regret. He reflects on the past seven years spent alone and grapples with the haunting memories of love lost, particularly of his late wife, Abigail. As the seasons change, he wrestles with his feelings of loneliness and despair, contemplating writing his life story to make sense of his experiences.
