Delirious Delirious

Publisher Description

A poignant exploration of aging, memory, and second chances in a life reimagined.
Mary, an ex-cop, and Pete, a retired librarian, embark on a new chapter in a retirement village, but their beloved house seems to hold onto the echoes of their past. As they navigate the challenges of aging—Pete's heart and Mary's aching joints—they find themselves revisiting old cases and long-held memories.

When a local detective brings forth new details about their son Will's death, a forty-year-old wound reopens, forcing Mary to confront her past. Pete grapples with haunting memories of his mother's delirium, blurring the lines between present and past. Can they piece together a life redefined by loss and change? Delirious is a powerful novel about family, aging, and the surprising ways second chances can emerge, perfect for readers of literary fiction and character-driven stories.
