Part Four: August comes round again and Ana Magdalena Bach decides once again to pursue her destiny on the island.
The publication of a discovered novel by Nobel laureate Gabriel Garc铆a M谩rquez is an unexpected and thrilling event in international literature. His final novel, completed just before his death in 2014, was written while M谩rquez was suffering from dementia.
Ana Magdalena Bach has been happily married for twenty-seven years and has no reason to escape the life she has made with her husband and children. And yet, every August, she travels to the island where her mother is buried, and for one night takes a new lover.
A beautiful, surprising, sensual novel about regret and the mysteries of love.
