A brutalist city, a vanished floor, and one architect determined to find it.
A beautifully observed novel of private choices and public consequences, told with uncommon tenderness and precision. This is the kind of story that grows richer after the final page.
About the Book
At once intimate and expansive, The Last Stair rewards close attention. Its sentences hold the texture of lived experience while its questions—about love, memory, and what we owe one another—remain urgently contemporary.
