"Some things cannot be translated. Some things were never labeled." Wren Vance works as an archivist, spending her days sorting old objects in quiet museum rooms. She likes things that stay still, things she can understand and name. People, with their secrets and surprises, are harder.
Everything changes when the museum receives the estate of Arden Vane, a famous botanical artist who disappeared from public life after a sudden death in 1992. As Wren opens each box of drawings, dried plants, and letters, she finds something impossible: a painting of a Red Spider Lily growing in the cracked concrete of her own childhood driveway. The painting is dated years before she ever heard of Arden Vane.
Shaken, Wren begins to wonder how this artist could have known anything about her private past. What did Arden know about Wren's mother, Eleanor-quiet, distant, and full of secrets? And why does it feel like the truth has been waiting for Wren all along?
With the help of Marina, Arden's sharp but kind surviving partner, Wren starts to piece together a hidden story: old love letters, secret maps, and a connection between Arden and Eleanor that was kept quiet for decades. The more Wren learns, the more she begins to doubt the official story of Arden's "death." What if Arden didn't die? What if she escaped? And what if Wren's mother was meant to escape with her?
The Taxonomy of Longing is a quiet, haunting novel about the things families hide, the stories we inherit without knowing, and the courage it takes to finally face the truth. It is a book about longing, memory, art, and the ghosts we create to survive.
