The day before his retirement, my dad disappeared on his way home. Where did he go? He wasn’t in the garden, at the pond, or at the factory. Maybe he became the sea, accompanying me from another world.
All pages use pouch binding: my image appears on the front, his on the back, faintly visible through the paper. Each page shows two worlds—the living and the dead—and as readers turn the pages, they move between them.and the book’s structure becomes part of the story itself.
