The Miraflor

By Julia G. Rook

N ra is a novelist with a problem: 316 pages of a manuscript she can't finish, a publisher who is running out of patience, and a relationship she should have left years ago. When she finally leaves - the man, the city, the half-written sentences - she travels to a small island in the Mediterranean. To work. To finish what she started.

On the Miraflor, she doesn't finish her novel.

What she finds instead is Mateo, the caretaker of her guesthouse - a man who asks nothing, explains nothing, promises nothing. He is simply present, with a quality of attention N ra had forgotten was possible. It is precisely this that she first tries to resist, and then can no longer.

The Miraflor is not a love story - or not only. It is a novel about the distance between the life we perform and the one we actually live. About writer's block as a symptom, not a cause. And about what happens when someone sees you clearly, and you finally stop looking away.
