A literary novel about memory, family history and mortality, following elderly clock repairman George Washington Crosby as he nears death and revisits his New England childhood and his father’s life as an itinerant tinker. Through fragmented recollections of work, illness, faith and nature, it explores fathers and sons, love, loss and what remains as time loosens its hold.
