Welcome to Litsy!

Following a long-standing feud and looking to settle the score, a woman decides to dismantle her home�alone and by hand�and move it across a frozen pond during a harsh New England winter in this mesmerizing debut. Home is certainly not where Del�s heart is. After a local scandal led to her parents� divorce and the rest of her family turned their backs on her, Del left her small town and cut off contact. Now, with both of her parents gone, a chance has arrived for Del to retaliate. Her uncle wants the one thing Del inherited: the family home. Instead of handing the place over, and with no other resources at her disposal, Del decides she will tear the place apart herself�piece by piece. But Del will soon discover, the task stirs up more than just old memories as relatives�each in their own state of unraveling�come knocking on her door. This spare, strange, magical book is a story not only about the powerlessness and hurt that run through a family but also about the moments when brokenness can offer us the rare chance to start again.
