About the Book

Week of Day of the Dead in Oaxaca, 2008. A café on the zócalo. Ethan is working on a novel, his first. His waitress claims she was with her grandfather in 1996 bidding Ethan farewell in the old bus station. Her name is Dina and he remembers her, but as she must continue working, she asks if he might visit her the following day in nearby Mitla. She claims there is something he should see there and he agrees to go even as he understands that young Dina had disappeared in 1996, along with her grandfather, crossing illegally into Texas. Dina is nowhere in Mitla and he will never see her again. But he does learn that her real name was Ariádina. Thus begins a synaptic pas de deux through Ethan's memory palace: Ariádina from Oaxaca and Ariadne from Prague, an art student he'd fallen in love with in Paris. It was 1968, August, and the Prague Spring of that year was about to be crushed by invading Soviet tanks. Fearing for her father back in Prague, Ariadne had to go home. After goodbyes high in the belfry of Venice's Campanile di San Marco, she descended the tower, alone. Ethan was sure he would never see her again.
