WINGS LIKE“Linden's lines go through the heart like a fine blade, leaving you pondering existence and all that lies between.”— The New Yorker
WINGS LIKEIn the commuter-belt suburbs of a sleepless city, Arton Sam seems to live an unremarkable life — until one letter lands and pulls apart everything he believed about the people nearest him. As buried family history comes to light, Arton must face the quiet gaps we maintain even with those we hold closest. Told in glowing prose with steady compassion, Wings Like Dust traces the delicate structure of memory, the pressure of things left unsaid, and the steady bravery it takes to start over.
“Once again Linden stands alone in exposing the small fractures that mark a life.”— The Guardian
