Zane, Can You hear me?
"Zane?"
Lena hasn't spoken in seventy-six days.
Everyone has an explanation for it.
Trauma.
Grief.
Shock.
None of them know who she's talking to.
Because every night, Lena asks the same question.
"Zane, can you hear me?”
There is no answer. There shouldn't be.
Zane is gone.
So why does she keep listening for him?
And why does the only recording she has of his voice end in the middle of a sentence?
“Lena, if anything ever happens to me, I need you to—”
Static.
Nothing after it.
Maybe the answer is buried somewhere in the seventy-six days she can't bring herself to speak about.
Maybe it's buried in the memories that keep coming back.
Or maybe the one thing Lena is desperate to remember is the one thing she got wrong.
"Zane, can you hear me?"
***
"Zane, Can You Hear Me?" is a psychological literary novel about love, grief, memory, and survival. It follows two souls who were completely oblivious about the plan fate had for them, how they would alter each other's lives forever, unknowingly so. At its core, it is a study of human resilience: the ways we carry the dead, protect the living sometimes too adamently, and continue searching for someone who may never answer.
"Can you hear me?"
But will she be able to find the answers as fast as the questions that keep emerging, keep chasing her, one after another?
