Santiago Gamboa takes us once again to four countries with five different characters in a contemporary world, following his novel "Where Are You?". The story unfolds in France, Spain, England, and Colombia. It follows the lives of Manuela, haunted by her traumatic childhood, who finds solace in books and poetry; Tertullian, the troubled Argentine priest and Nazi sympathizer who claims to be the Pope's son; Ferdinand Palacios, the Colombian priest and former soldier burdened by guilt over his dark past; a diplomat and writer whose trip to Madrid leads him to a long-sought relationship; and the late French poet Arthur Rimbaud, a complex figure with a wild life. Although each character appears entirely separate, Gamboa's skillful weaving of their paths intertwines, ultimately poses a compelling question: Is there a past we can reconcile with?
