About the book
A fugitive, a writer sentenced to life in prison in Venezuela, hides on a seemingly deserted island in Polynesia, where he keeps a diary. When a group of tourists unexpectedly settles into the museum on the hill, he fears they will hand him over to the authorities and retreats to the swamps. Watching from hiding, he becomes captivated by a woman who watches the sunset each day, and he resolves to approach her. Yet something strange about the island and its visitors keeps him from reaching her.
