The Salt House for the Unfinished
On a low-lying Welsh coast, a widowed archivist discovers that a derelict house is collecting the unfinished versions of people’s lives, each room holding a different path not taken. When the town begins to lose its future in small, practical ways, she has to decide whether preserving every possibility is a kindness or a trap.
