About This Book

The narrator, weary from wandering and haunted by an unpleasant past, arrives in a semi-tropical gulf capital during a raucous festival and yields to its crowds and music in an attempt to forget. Beneath the city's pageantry and floral revelry the narrator senses political tension and the presence of exiles and conspiracies, and an unexpected encounter with a stranger lifts his spirits. The outing leads into a series of strange adventures and entanglements tied to revolutionary currents in the region, blending romance, danger, and impulsive choices as personal ghosts and public unrest collide.
