by Guadalupe Nettel (Author), Rosalind Harvey (Translator)

In Havana, Paris, and New York City, Claudio and Cecilia succumb to our implacable movement toward love.

Claudio's apartment faces a wall. Rising from bed, he sets his feet on the floor at the same time, to ground himself. Cecilia sits at her window, contemplating a cemetery, the radio her best companion. In parallel and entwining stories that move from Havana to Paris to New York City, no routine, no argument for the pleasures of solitude, can withstand our most human drive to find ourselves in another and fall in love. And no depth of emotion can protect us from love's inevitable loss.
