He owes his passion for the French language to his Parisian father, Pierre, who, one year before, abruptly returned to France without a word of explanation. Jacques and his mother's sense of abandonment is made more acute by their isolation in this small community where few read or think. While Jacques finds distraction in a crush on his student's older sister, his preoccupation with his father's disappearance continues to haunt him. But there is often more to a story than the torment it causes. This one is about forgiveness and second chances. 546 $a Translated from the Spanish. 650 0 $a Fathers and sons $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Latin America $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Chile $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Fathers and sons. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00921899 651 7 $a Chile. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205362 651 7 $a Latin America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01245945 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 700 1 $a Cullen, John, $d 1942- 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180126031509.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826103323.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3896A204C17411E49647BAD4DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
