Juliet and Henry never met. Yet their lives resonate across generations when Juliet finds an old photo of a mausoleum with an urgent message in her uncle Henry’s final belongings.

"[A] singular, emotionally charged literary thriller…" —Editor's Pick, BookLife Reviews by Publishers Weekly

Juliet Barton is reeling from a devasting divorce and her career in shambles. Then she’s rocked by her mother’s sudden death. Buried in grief as she sorts her late mother’s effects, Juliet stumbles upon the final belongings of her uncle Henry, who died tragically in Italy in 1971.

Hidden among Henry’s effects is an old Polaroid of a mausoleum with a mysterious note scrawled on the back. Juliet becomes convinced that his death may not have been an accident, leading her abroad to unravel the mystery of Henry's last days in Europe.

But as she tracks down clues to her twenty-something uncle’s cutting-edge filmmaking in Hollywood, renowned coverage of the Vietnam War, and link to a 1960s rock icon, Juliet uncovers a haunting truth that pushes her into the line of danger.

Will unraveling Henry’s hidden past put Juliet’s own future at risk?

In this suspenseful, intoxicating tale told through the interwoven narratives of Juliet in the present-day and Henry decades ago, Final Belongings navigates the trauma of estrangement, the secrets we bury, and the things we try to escape at any cost.
