What if you could rewrite the past . . . ?
Marc Laurent is being held captive. Every night, a woman he knows only as Josephine comes to visit him. And every night, she and Marc tell each other stories about the daughter he lost. As they unfold - on a journey across America, into the past, and into a future that may never come - father and daughter start to find their way towards understanding each other again.
Lyrical, seductive and utterly compelling, Daniel Lowe's All That's Left to Tell is a novel about second chances and the stories we tell to make sense of ourselves.
'An utterly engrossing novel about the universal need to tell stories in order to survive, to remember, and to be remembered' Laila Lalami

Reviews
“'An utterly engrossing novel about the universal need to tell stories in order to survive, to remember, and to be remembered'”Laila Lalami
“Like Tim O'Brien's After Cacciato, All That's Left To Tell celebrates not just the power of storytelling but the deeply human need for it in even the most dire situations. Alternately gripping and dreamy, Daniel Lowe's debut imagines what the stories we tell reveal about ourselves, and how they may save us”Stewart O'Nan, author of West of Sunset
“Through carefully crafted storytelling and an expert’s ear for dialogue, Daniel Lowe delivers an outstanding debut. The plot of All That’s Left to Tell is satisfyingly ripped from recent headlines and takes the reader on a dizzying, dream-state of a ride as Lowe unspools the storyline to stunning effect”Christopher Scotton, author of The Secret Wisdom of the Earth
“Daniel Lowe's debut novel opens with a fierce, immediate narrative grip that continues to tighten until the book reaches a climax that resonates long after one has closed the cover of this haunted and haunting book”Stuart Dybek, author of Paper Lantern
