The Last Revision
When Mara Lacey, a meticulous freelance copyeditor in Kilkenny, is asked to help tidy the papers of her estranged uncle after his death, she finds an unfinished memoir that keeps contradicting the family history she thought she knew. As she tries to decide what to preserve, what to correct, and what to leave inconveniently alone, the manuscript begins to unsettle the careful life she has built around other people's words.
