“ Andy Juniper has written a novel that will be talked about for ages. Not only the concept, but for the language and plot. Angels in the Architecture is a treasure.” — Roy MacGregor, bestselling author of Home Team: Fathers, Sons, and Hockey Love, loss, and the weight of memory shape a haunting tale of grief, resilience, and the ghosts we carry.

As the storm closes in, he looks back on the love he lost and the life that’ s unraveling, moving through a vivid series of memories that reveal the depth of his sorrow, resilience, and unexpected humor.
