See, remember, understand. It all depends on where you stand. When she first came to Hammars, she was barely a year old and knew nothing of the great and all-changing love that had brought her there. In essence, it was three loves. Father and daughter sit together with a recording device between them. Their plan is to document aging in a book they plan to write together. When they finally get around to putting it into action, age has caught up with him in a way that makes their conversations unpredictable and disjointed. The Restless is a playful, exploratory, and genre-bending novel about a child who can't wait to grow up and parents who most want to be children, about memories and forgetting and the many stories that make up a life.
