Description
A gripping, psychologically charged novel, this story unfolds through the intertwined voices of four characters as a woman’s descent into madness ripples outward into love, betrayal, and survival. Her husband, desperate to reclaim her, collides with the shadowy past of a former lover tied to illicit power, while her grandfather’s memories cast a long, unsettling light on the family’s unraveling. Set against a backdrop of war, corruption, and moral compromise, the book examines how desire can both illuminate and destroy, and how fragile sanity becomes when society itself feels unstable. With Laura Restrepo’s lyrical, incisive style and her talent for inhabiting multiple perspectives, the novel delivers a searing portrait of eros and insanity—intimate, urgent, and unforgettable.
