Beschreibung:
In 1976, on the day of his wife's funeral, Wylie Greer drops off his five-year-old daughter, Holly, at his father-in-law's dairy farm on the outskirts of Columbia, South Carolina. Wylie asks for a little time to clear his head, but thirty years pass before Holly sees her father again. "What You Have Left "is about a father and daughter trying to make their way back to one another across decades of longing, uncertainty, and ambivalence--all the while hoping to discover that what they have left is worth salvaging. Shot through with sly humor and a knowing sympathy for human weakness, "What You Have Left "is a stunning debut that explores the weight of history, the nature of loss, and the possibility of forgiveness.
