About this book

Sophie Hocking faces questions from a federal investigator about her missing husband after the San Francisco earthquake. An immigrant from Ireland, she escaped their damaged house with her stepdaughter, Katharine, and later found their neighborhood reduced to ashes. This historical novel opens through an interview that places uncertainty about her marriage within the city's wider disaster.
