What We Can Know

From the Booker prize–winner, a genre-blending novel that spans centuries, this story weaves together a mysterious poem, a near-future world submerged by rising seas, and the lives of characters haunted by what is lost and what endures. Through its intricate narrative, it explores themes of love, secrets, and the search for truth across time and history. Richly imagined and deeply thought-provoking, the novel is a compelling reflection on memory, knowledge, and the legacy of human connections.
