The Quiet Inventory
After her father dies, Mara Kerr returns to Aberdeen to sort through the contents of the flat he kept to himself for years. Among the ordinary things, she finds a set of handwritten lists that suggest he had been quietly preparing to leave, or to be found, long before anyone knew. As Mara tries to understand what he was protecting, she is forced to face the family silence that shaped them both.
