A novel by Piedad Bonnett about redemption, loneliness, and second chances.
Gabriel has given up his ordinary life in order to lose himself in a painful search for his place in the world. At age thirty-one, he begins this journey by retracing his steps to try to decipher how he came to become the man he is today.
With a prose as beautiful as it is heartbreaking, Piedad Bonnett explores loneliness, anguish, and the possibility of redemption for a man who hits rock bottom.

“Bonnett chooses every word carefully. There are neither too many nor too few adjectives used to convey Gabriel’s suffering and create an intimate tone, without ever descending into crude self-pity.”
