This startling, beautiful novel set in South America explores the mysterious concepts of love and home.
Omar has won an award to write the authorised biography of a celebrated yet obscure writer, Jules Gund. But first he must gain the approval of Gund’s literary executors: his widow, his mistress and his brother.
Not allowing himself time for reflection, Omar acts against instinct and flies to the family’s dilapidated mansion in Uruguay. If he cannot win their approval, he will lose his award, his job and, perhaps, his redoubtable girlfriend.
Once there, he disturbs the uneasy intimacy of the world Gund has left behind and changes it for ever.
