'Here’s the truth: when I saw the headline announcing the death of a Spanish woman in an accident in Guatemala, it never occurred to me to suspect that the dead person might be me.’
Isobel, an anthropologist and mother of three adult children, has officially been pronounced dead following a boat accident in Guatemala. But Isobel is very much alive and hiding in a remote shack in the jungle. Serena, Isobel’s daughter, is trying to write the family history before it is lost. Above all, she is obsessed with the story of Simon, her paternal grandfather who was shipwrecked and survived three days at sea before being rescued. Yet the irony is that she isn’t investigating the one story she really should—that of her mother’s death.
