Publisher's Synopsis
Her mostly happy life is disrupted, however, when Tito, a former boyfriend from fifteen years earlier, reappears. Something has impeded his passage into adulthood. His mother calls him an Unfinished Man. He still carries a torch for Clara; and she harbors a secret from their past. Their reacquaintance sets in motion an unraveling of both of their lives and reveals what the cost of assimilation-or the absence of it-has meant for each of them.
This immensely entertaining novel-filled with wit and compassion-marks the debut of a fine writer.
