Book Description

Crossing Baghdad, Beirut, and the small towns of Kansas, August is an intimate, atmospheric novel about memory, longing, and the invisible threads that bind us across continents and beyond the grave.

From the lush beyond the living world, a young Black girl watches the boy she loved move through the ache of her absence, and the child who will rise in the space she left behind. Her voice drifts like light over water — tender, restless, unable to let go of the futures she will never touch.

The story asks what remains when a life is interrupted, and whether the heart can still guide those we once held close, even after the world has carried on without us.

For readers of Jesmyn Ward, Celeste Ng, Douglas Stuart, and Hanya Yanagihara, August offers a quietly unforgettable portrait of love, loss, and the fragile resilience that carries ordinary people through extraordinary grief.

A quiet, resonant literary novel about memory, loss, and the fragile resilience that carries ordinary people through extraordinary grief.
