Sinopse

An extraordinary novel that only Gabriel García Márquez could write, *In August We See You* , the author's unpublished and posthumous book, is a hymn to life, feminine desire, and the resilience of pleasure despite the passage of time. An unexpected gift to the world from the Nobel Prize winner in Literature.

Every August, Anna Magdalena Bach takes a boat to a Caribbean island to place a bouquet of gladioli on her mother's grave. Every year, she stays at a hotel and, before bed, goes downstairs for a bite to eat at the bar. To be on the safe side, she always orders the same ham and cheese sandwich and then goes upstairs to her room. Until, one day, a man invites her for a drink. And, after the first sip of her gin and soda, feeling bold, cheerful, capable of anything—including shedding her marital bonds, momentarily forgetting her husband and children—she gives in to the stranger's advances and takes him to her room.

That particular night changes Ana Magdalena—and her life—forever. And after that experience, she looks forward to each August, when she not only visits her mother's grave but also has the chance to choose a different lover every year.

Written in the fascinating and unmistakable style of one of the greatest icons of Latin American literature, Em agosto nos vêes paints the portrait of a woman discovering her desires and delving deeper into her fears. A gem that will delight fans of the late Gabo, as well as new readers of this great writer.
