What My Father Knew About Love
(2026)(The third book in the Between Every World series)
A novel by Zoe Sinclair
A literary romance novel about a heritage architect who renovates a bookshop and finds his father inside it.
Stefan Voss does not believe he is built for love. He has the evidence: three relationships, three versions of the same honest assessment. He is precise and capable and impossible to reach.
He accepts a renovation contract for a three-hundred-year-old bookshop in Ghent and on the third day, behind a false panel in the rear wall, finds a tin box containing forty-three handwritten letters.
He reads the first one because it is there. He reads all forty-three because the voice in them will not let him stop.
The letters are a love story. Two voices across ten weeks of correspondence, building toward the truest thing either of them has ever said. Stefan spends three months tracing who wrote them, crossing cities and archives, and one conversation with a seventy-one-year-old woman in Vienna who tells him what the letters don't contain.
The handwriting that stops him cold is his father's.
Pieter Voss died fifteen years ago. Stefan thought he knew him. He knew the load-bearing version. He did not know the man who sat on a bench on the Korenlei in November forty-five years ago and learned, letter by letter, what love required of a person.
Genre: Historical
