Until August

 
 

Sitting alone, overlooking the still and blue lagoon, Ana Magdalena Bach surveys the men of the hotel bar. She is happily married and has no reason to escape the world she has made with her husband and children. And yet, every August, she travels here to the island where her mother is buried, and for one night takes a new lover.

Constantly surprising and wonderfully sensual, “Until August” is a profound meditation on freedom, regret, and the mysteries of love, from one of the greatest writers the world has ever known.
