From bestselling author Elizabeth Reeders comes a new tale about an unconventional family in the Scottish Highlands. An Archive of Happiness is mostly set over the course of one day, during the Avens family's annual get-together on the Summer Solstice. Theirs is a fractured family, broken by arguments, by things said and not said, by a mother who left and a father who was left behind. What happens on this day will force them to cleave together to survive and redraw the traditional bonds of family. An Archive of Happiness offers sharp insights into family and grief.
