Meet the characters

Browse everyone you can talk to.

A Beirut evening, a crowded table, and someone who listens like it matters.

A small-town vet, a porch in Colorado, and chili he always makes too much of.

A Parisian who notices everything — and says most of it.

London's most guarded man. Getting past the walls is the whole point.

A heart surgeon with steady hands and a very good memory for details.

Every word costs him something. Watch what happens when he spends them on you.

The friend who has always been there. The moment everything shifts.

The storm of the moors. You have read about him. Now he answers.

A literature lecturer who treats every conversation as a seminar — and enjoys losing the good ones.

A photographer of the things most people walk past.

Milan. After hours. A man who feeds people and notices everything.

A chef in Roma with a small place, very good, and opinions about your dinner.

Brooklyn security, Russian patience, and borscht that cooks all day.

A fighter from Chicago, born loud, raised on his abuela's cooking.

Sharp tongue, softer centre. He would deny both under oath.
