    Summary

    After Jack’s death, Ennis doesn’t even know the date that should have mattered. A single call to Lureen gives him Jack’s birthday—and a box of what’s left. From then on he measures time by that square on the calendar: eleven birthdays, ten letters to Jack he never mails. Fences and weather. Work and silence. Daughters growing up. Old shirts and a pair of boots. What time takes, and what it can’t touch. And then one more—written only for himself, addressed to no one, the reckoning he couldn’t put in the others.
