The weight of names

di Steven E Hall (Autore)

Steven Hall, 2026

A Haunting Tale of Sacrifice and the Weight of Memory When a devastating school bus accident shatters her small town, third-grade teacher Elara Vance discovers a terrifying and ancient gift: she can absorb the grief of others, transforming their deepest sorrow into physical stones that form on her own body. What begins as a single, cold weight of a lost student's loneliness soon becomes a collection—a landscape of loss etched into her skin. Each stone is a sacred burden, a memory of a child she loved, and with each one, she eases the town's pain while her own body bends and breaks under the cumulative weight. As Elara transforms into a living monument to collective grief, she faces an impossible choice: surrender her humanity to become the town's permanent vessel of sorrow, or sever the connection and release the agony back to those still struggling to heal. The Grief Eater is a profoundly moving and beautifully written novel about the cost of compassion, the physicality of memory, and one woman's harrowing journey to carry what cannot be borne alone. Perfect for fans of the emotional depth of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and the lyrical melancholy of The Ocean at the End of the Lane.
