THE LANGUAGE OF ENDINGS

Nora is a clinical psychologist who knows exactly how people protect themselves from pain. What she does not know, or refuses to admit, is how thoroughly she has built her own life around distance. When she meets Eli, a younger filmmaker whose curiosity and steadiness begin to disarm her, Nora finds herself on the edge of something real. But she has always trusted endings more than beginnings, and by the time she names the truth of what she feels, she may already have lost it. The Language of Endings is a quiet, piercing novel about emotional avoidance, late understanding, and the difficult courage of letting someone in.
