A blue house on the beach once held a father, a mother, a girl, a boy and a dog. The woman who tells their story imagines a vast exhibition about them that will never be staged, and writes its accompanying text as a glossary of the family’s own words. Entry by entry, the fragments show a family full of life, and the cracks that open in it as it comes apart after someone leaves.
