TERRACE STORY - HILARY LEICHTER GEBUNDEN

From the author of the acclaimed novel  Temporary   an intimate exploration of time  a fable
about love  an epic daydream for a broken-hearted world Annie  Edward  and their young daughter
Rose  live in a cramped apartment. One night  without warning  they find a beautiful terrace
hidden in their closet. It wasn’t there before  and it seems to only appear when their friend
Stephanie visits. A city dweller’s dream come true! But every extra bit of space has a hidden
cost  and the terrace sets off a seismic chain of events  forever changing the shape of their
tiny home  and the shape of the world. Terrace Story  follows the characters who suffer these
repercussions and reverberations: the little family of three  their future now deeply uncertain
and those who orbit their fragile universe. The distance and love between these characters
expands limitlessly  across generations. How far can the mind travel when it’s looking for
something that is gone? Where do we put our loneliness  longing  and desire? What do we do with
the emotions that seem to stretch beyond the body  beyond the boundaries of life and death?
Based on the National Magazine Award–winning story  Hilary Leichter’s profound second novel
asks how we nurture love when death looms over every moment. From one of our most innovative
and daring writers  Terrace Story is an astounding meditation on loss  a reverie about
extinction  and a map for where to go next.
