The Work

About this book

Devastated by a separation, Sauer tries to find meaning amid the ruins of his own life. At the same time, Rubens, a young engineer, is given the task of assessing a building that may be on the verge of demolition. While one faces the emotional wreckage of the past, the other investigates the hidden flaws of a structure full of mysteries. When their stories begin to cross paths, it becomes impossible to ignore the feeling that both are part of something greater — as if their lives were merely fragments of the same work. Unfinished. And on the verge of collapse.
