Miguel and Helena meet at a nursing home in Tarifa, at an age when they believe they have lived it all already. Miguel is afraid of flying. Helena is afraid of the ocean. Both have adult children and feel they are no longer needed. The dramatic suicide of one of the other residents opens their eyes. They don't want to spend their last days remembering and longing for supposedly better times. Together they decide to undertake the journey of their lives and confront the darkness in their pasts. Meanwhile, in the distant Swedish city of MalmoÌ, the young Yasmina, a child of Moroccan immigrants who dreams of being a singer, lives trapped between the care of her authoritarian grandfather Abdul and the contempt of her mother, who is ashamed of Yasmina because she works for a Swede with a murky reputation. And has a secret love affair with the Deputy Commissioner of the Swedish police, an older, influential man. As Yasmina is drawn deeper into MalmoÌ's criminal underworld and Miguel and Helena approach the end of their feverish road trip, ViÌctor del AÌrbol masterfully reconstructs the history of violence that links their seemingly disparate lives-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Older people $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Secrecy $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Immigrants $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Violence $z Sweden $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Sweden $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Thrillers (Fiction) $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Dillman, Lisa, $e translator. 941 $a 2 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20220301010927.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210605010027.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4851B8BEC5C311EB87A07EB022ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
