The Last Draft
In Limerick, a meticulous editor working for a small independent press is asked to clear out the papers of a dead novelist whose final manuscript may not be the one he meant to leave behind. As she reads through drafts, letters and half-finished pages, she starts to suspect that the real story is less about the book than about the life that shaped it.
