A captivating, lyrical story of memory and love, and the heartbreaking choices that are made in times of war.

In the dying days of the last century an elderly poet wanders the streets of Lithuania's capital, haunted by a terrible secret. For years he has been unable to write, fearful of fanning the embers of his memories. But now those embers are glowing once again.

In a decaying tenement a washerwoman struggles between the twilight world of Vilnius's brothels and her flickering hopes of building a better life for her children. She too holds memories that rob her of sleep.

Vilnius is a city that has been dealt a cruel hand by history, where the rubble of the Jewish ghetto lies alongside toppled statues of the communist era and where teenage girls wear painted smiles and fight for American dollars. And through the tangled debris of its past and present, the story of a girl called Rachael, of a poet's great love and even greater betrayal, begins to coil its way to the surface, and demands to be told.
