Ever since the accident that scarred her and killed her mother, Sage has distanced herself from other people. That changes when she meets Josef Weber, a well-respected member of the community. As they become closer, he asks her to kill him, and explains why he deserves to die, turning her world upside down. The Storyteller is a well-written novel that weaves together World War II, baking, and the theme of forgiveness.
That’s the paradox of loss: How can something that’s gone weigh us down so much?
