Overview: An ominous, portentous serenity pervades the lifestyle and conversations of vacationers on Corbodera, an island off the coast of Spain. The summer is hotter than usual, the pace of the daily routine is almost somnambulistic. Marion Carter, maternal owner of the island’s hotel, orchestrates the intellectual and physical activity of her guests. They include a lovely Italian actress, a frustrated young man who writes novels, an American psychiatrist and his French wife, a fragile young woman infatuated with an eccentric French painter and a Countess who adores her charge, a 14 year old boy. In brief, tight, chapters Lortz focuses on one or more of his characters, who spend their days discussing art, love, happiness, the unconscious, dreams. The insufferable heat, the omnipresent sea and the theft of the valdepenas, a flower that only blooms every seven years, are premonitions of the novel’s eerie conclusion.
