To each other, they exist entirely outside the everyday. Will the distance between them ever close?

A spring inn, a summer grave visit, an autumn drive, and—a winter inn. Meeting only once in each season, this painterly romance captures a single year in the lives of two souls bound by brief encounters.

A woman is about to embark on a trip with her lover—until he betrays her. In his place, a man steps forward and offers to take the journey with her instead. For reasons she can barely explain to herself, she accepts, spending a spring night at an inn with someone who was, until that moment, a complete stranger.

A spring inn, a summer grave visit, an autumn drive, and a winter inn. Ever since their first unexpected meeting at a crematorium, the two meet only once every season. Told across four exquisite chapters, this painterly novel delicately paints a single year of quiet connection, longing, and transformation.
