Language and love blend together in this heartfelt story of modern romance. George is a leading linguist who specializes in dead and dying languages. He spends his days immersed in his work until his wife walks out on him, twice. Can George rekindle his marriage with the help of an aging couple, the last speakers of a language on the edge of extinction, or his enamored coworker, Emma, who has been admiring him from afar?   “Quirky, but ravishingly well-written piece that is smart, funny, deep and tender.” —OC Weekly.
