Translated into 15 languages and internationally recognized for its literary value, the book was made into a film in Brazil in 2017.
A book about paternal love, second chances, and the power of destiny, by one of the most important writers of Latin America.
The life of young Jacques will be marked forever by his abandonment by his father, Pierre. Time passes and he and his mother still wait for news of Pierre, trapped between social conventions and the gossip of their small village in southern Chile.
Jacques is now a teacher when one of his fifteen-year-old students, Augusto, asks him to accompany him by train to the city for his birthday.
However, this journey holds an unexpected surprise for Augusto, but above all for Jacques.
