In some dark corners of Mexico, All Saints' Day isn't merely a time to remember the dead. It's an invitation to commune. When a woman cursed with immortality and a man haunted by a bloody war stumble headlong into this strange mélange of mysticism and cosmology, they learn that a return home may entail more than a voyage of mere miles. It will require them to traverse space and time. A groundbreaking work as tenacious as a hurricane and as radiant as Van Gogh's STARRY NIGHT, this contemporary myth amplifies the conventions of genre and literary fiction to take us on a journey in a way that only a book can, and reminds us that even in darkness there is light.
