AN EXCEPTIONAL LOST NOVEL BY THE NOBEL PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR OF LOVE IN THE TIME OF CHOLERA AND ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF SOLITUDE

NUMBER OF PAGES: 144, DIMENSIONS: 13.8x13.8cm

In isolation, against the backdrop of the serene and blue lagoon, Ana Magdalena Bach observes the men at the hotel bar. She is happily married and has no reason to escape from the world she has created with her husband and children. Yet, every August, she travels here, to the island where her mother is buried, and for just one night she has a new lover.

Through sweltering days and tropical storms, charming yet deceivers, Ana ventures deeper each year into the interior of her desire and the fear that quietly sits in her heart.

Continuously subversive and wonderfully sensual, "Until August" is a deep reflection on freedom, regret, and the mysteries of love from one of the greatest authors the world has ever known.

"The master's last novel of magical realism is a story of forbidden love in mature life."

"A story both sexual and unsettling... The lasting impression of 'Until August' is one of deep feeling, exquisitely observed and beautifully conveyed."
