A slender, beautiful brunette rents a room in a run-down island hotel overlooking the languid blue lagoon. During the day she visits her mother's grave on the top of a hill, and towards night she has fun in the hotel bar to the sounds of salsa and bolero. She has been happily married for a long time, but every year on one day in August she takes a ferry to a distant island to spend a hot night with a random lover. The dizzying, joyfully sensual novel “See You in August” is an unexpected gift from one of the greatest writers whom the world has ever known.
