A high fever confines a woman to bed and opens a door onto earlier years. People return to her: someone headed for fame who once sent her a letter; a companion who dropped off the face of the earth; a love that could never last. Through portraits made of small particulars, worn paperbacks, wild dancing, nervous breathlessness, the novel looks at how those who pass through our lives shape the many lives inside one life, whether someone dear can simply disappear, and whether a portrait shows the sitter or the painter.
