About This Book

A disenchanted vacationer wanders into a desert valley where a recurring temporal breeze periodically propels moments a century forward or backward. He meets a striking, easygoing woman whose unconventional household arrangements and fashions provoke a candid exchange about monogamy, affection, and social norms. The encounter illuminates how the time gusts play with people and objects, and the narrative mixes speculative mechanism, satirical observation, and reflections on intimacy, leisure, and human restlessness within a brief, whimsical frame.
