Um garoto de treze anos se machuca numa festa de aniversário. Quando adulto, um de seus colegas narra o episódio. A partir das motivações do que se revela mais que um acidente, cujas consequências se projetam em diversos fatos de sua vida nas décadas seguintes - a adolescência conturbada, uma mudança de cidade, um casamento em crise -, ele constrói uma reflexão corajosa sobre identidade, afeto e perda.Dessa reflexão fazem parte também as trajetórias de seu pai, com quem o protagonista tem uma relação difícil, e de seu avô, sobrevivente de Auschwitz que passou anos escrevendo um diário secreto e bizarro. São três gerações, cuja história parece ser uma só; são lembranças que se juntam de maneira fragmentada, como numa lista em que os fatos carregam em si tanto inocência quanto brutalidade.
Numa prosa que oscila entre violência, lirismo e ironia, com pausas para uma neutralidade quase documental na descrição de cheiros, gostos, sons, fatos e sentimentos, Diário da queda é uma viagem inusitada pela memória de um homem no momento em que ele precisa fazer a escolha que mudará sua vida.

Just when she's decided to leave the Town, Lady Cressida Belverst is forced to marry Lord Calan Haverston, the man who coincidentally knows a way out. Agreeing to marry for all the wrong reasons, can Cressida and Calan find out where their hearts truly belong? *** It is impossible to leave the Town, but one woman is determined to escape with the help of her betrothed. Lady Cressida Belverst has always been judged as a walking scandal. Oh, how she tries (on some rare occasions) to be proper! When her parents arrange for her to marry a rich lord, Cressida has had enough. She has to leave the Town because she will not be forced to live with a man she doesn't love. But what happens if the very man she's betrothed to is the only one who can help her get out? Calan Haverston, the Lord of Easton, takes the risk and helps his betrothed by using his knowledge of the Town's secrets because he is as willing as she to stay free of marriage for reasons completely different. He has dark secrets he cannot share with her, and his life is not one he can likewise open to anyone. But what happens when she leaves after awakening desires he thought he has under control? And what happens when he finds himself longing for her? Cressida goes to a completely different place, one she has only heard in stories and read in books, with hopes of finding what her heart has always longed for. But love, mystery and secrets will chase her and it will only be a matter of time before she realizes what her heart truly desires. *This story is a standalone title in the Haverston Family series.
