Yahaya Yirenkyi

Art conservator Ama Asante arrives at a crumbling Tuscan villa to restore a mysterious Renaissance fresco. She does not expect the shuttered-off architect who owns it, nor the five-hundred-year-old love letters hidden in an olive-wood box - nor the slow, inevitable fall toward a man who has kept every door in his house closed for four years. A literary slow-burn romance about art, grief, the courage to open closed doors, and the things love leaves in the walls of the places it has been.
