The Quiet Inventory
In post-war Swansea, a widowed clerk takes over the unfinished work of cataloguing the contents of a closed municipal archive after a fire leaves whole ledgers unreadable. As she pieces together what was saved, what was altered, and what was quietly removed, she finds the records leading back to her own family and to a local disappearance everyone has learned not to mention.
