Fernando, after a brilliant career despised by his father, a successful engineer, has just started out as a journalist when he crosses paths with a wealthy businessman who, to his surprise, asks him to find his son, Michael, who has left without a trace in search of a more fulfilling life. The plot takes Fernando to beautiful locations in Patagonia and Caribbean beaches, which the author describes in great detail. These settings invite the reader to pause and enjoy nature and reflect on the disregard for the ecosystem. Tragedies unfold, as do moments of happiness that often spring from the simplest and most ordinary things. These pages are filled with an ode to friendship and to believing in others. Alejandro G. Roemmers offers us an intelligent story that lays bare the lack of communication, rigidity, taboos, repression, and egocentricity and lack of empathy that urban, automatized, and unconscious life leads us to. A memorable novel, a journey of self-discovery and reflection on the way we live. This is not just a novel, it is an experience that will stay with you long after you have read the last page.
