She will be married by thirty, done having kids by thirty-five, and move out to the New York City suburbs, all while climbing the professional ladder in the cutthroat art auction world. She's an associate specialist at Sotheby's now, but her boss has hinted at a promotion if she can close a deal with a high-profile client. She's not engaged just yet, but she knows her boyfriend, Finn, a surgical resident, is about to propose on their romantic getaway to the Galapagos--days before her thirtieth birthday. Right on time. But then a virus that felt worlds away has appeared in the city, and on the eve of their departure, Finn breaks the news: It's all hands on deck at the hospital. He has to stay behind. You should still go, he assures her, since it would be a shame for all of their nonrefundable trip to go to waste. And so, reluctantly, she goes. Almost immediately, Diana's dream vacation goes awry. Her luggage is lost, the Wi-Fi is nearly nonexistent, and the hotel they'd booked is shut down due to the pandemic.

Slowly, she carves out a connection with a local family when a teenager with a secret opens up to Diana, despite her father's suspicion of outsiders. In the Galapagos Islands, where Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection was formed, Diana finds herself examining her relationships, her choices, and herself--and wondering if when she goes home, she too will have evolved into someone completely different"-- $c Provided by publisher. 541 $d 20220329. 650 $a COVID-19 Pandemic, 2020- $v Fiction. 650 $a Single women $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Art auctions. 650 $a Self-realization in women $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Viruses $x Fiction. 650 $a Art auctions $v Fiction. 650 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Viruses. 650 7 $a Man-woman relationships. 651 $a Galapagos Islands $v Fiction. 651 7 $a Galapagos Islands. 655 7 $a Thrillers (Fiction.) 655 7 $a Thrillers (Fiction.) 655 7 $a Fiction. 941 $a 14 945 $a lpt 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611012326.0 952 $l FGPD194 $d 20240515010808.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409041652.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314023249.0 952 $l RUPC135 $d 20231121011851.0 952 $l ETPD745 $d 20231025012601.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010031047.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20221227010342.0 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20221004022232.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20220804024136.0 952 $l XZPB787 $d 20220802023301.0 952 $l SPPE104 $d 20220802015328.0 952 $l GHPD771 $d 20220709010458.0 952 $l XGPC697 $d 20220608011053.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4FD0903EE6F011EC88CF655530ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
