Sitting alone by the crystal-clear waters of the lagoon, Anna Magdalena Bach observes the men at the hotel bar. She has two children from a happy marriage of twenty-seven years, from which she has no reason to want to escape. Yet, every August, she travels by ferry to the island where her mother is buried, and for one night she finds a new lover. Amidst the sultry Caribbean nights, filled with salsa and bolero, Anna travels deeper each year into the hinterland of her desires and the fears of her heart.
Full of surprises and sentiment, See You in August is a profound reflection on freedom, sorrow, personal transformation, and the mysteries of love; an unexpected gift from one of the greatest writers the world has ever known.
