All the Unbroken Things

<p>Gabrielle can rewind time-but only by a few seconds. A dropped glass. A sharp word. A look that lingers too long. In the quiet folds of domestic life with her partner Jack she edits moments like minor grammatical errors-erasing discomfort avoiding confrontation smoothing the rough edges of emotion. At first it's a gift. Then a habit. Then something harder to define.</p><p>But time doesn't like to be rewritten.</p><p>As her rewinds multiply so do the distortions-glitches in memory moments repeated out of order conversations that never happened but feel familiar. The more she tries to fix the more undone she becomes.</p><p>Elegiac and psychologically taut All the Unbroken Things is a haunting speculative novel about memory emotional erasure and the quiet consequences of refusal. For readers of Emily St. John Mandel Kazuo Ishiguro and Carmen Maria Machado this is a story of fractured time fragile love and the impossible ache of almost having said the right thing.</p>
