Toronto, Little Italy. Stefania is a restoration architect with a gift she never chose — she sees what others cannot. Not metaphorically. Literally.
When she begins work on a building on Via Margherita, she finds more than a structural anomaly. The measurements don't add up. A room that shouldn't exist. A thirty-seven centimeter discrepancy that no laser measure can explain. And presences — one by one — that have been held in place by a pact made in 1920, by a man named Carmelo who built walls around more than stone.
Alongside her is Marco — methodical, precise, a man carrying something large that he hasn't yet found the place to set down. And Rosa, an elderly woman who sits on a mustard-colored sofa and sees everything, says little, and has been waiting long enough to recognize the moment when it arrives.
The Other Shore is a novel about the quality of things that stay. About what we carry and what we finally set down. About the people who wait long enough to see us arrive — and the smile they have when we do.
A literary ghost story set in the heart of Toronto's Italian community. Atmospheric, precise, quietly powerful.
The Other Shore is the English translation of L'Altra Riva by KARMEN-ITA.
