Journey through a collection of tales that cross the globe and pull from the rich flavours of the author's Chilean roots.
Each story traverses the intricacies of the human condition with themes of love in all its forms: courage and hope, loss and grief, and what it means to grow older.
These tales are explored across cultures and through the lattice of family dynamics. Whether provoking joy or grief, each delivers an intimate look into what it means to follow dreams and listen to your heart.
Set in the many places the author has lived, including Canada, Chile, Argentina, Australia and Brazil, these stories were also created in her adopted tongue.
Aside from the short stories this book contains a novella, Under a Weeping Willow, which relates the story of Margot, a strong and courageous country woman living in Chile, in the 1950's. As a mother, Margot's profound love and desire to protect her daughter, Alana, forces her into reprehensible actions.
