Publisher's Summary
Teresa, a beautiful young girl from the village, is supposed to marry a suitable man from the same community, but she wants to see the world.
Vasco is a café owner who is losing business to the new Internet café down the road.
The unseemly, dysfunctional, but strangely riveting Pottses are a family of ex-patriots, trying to cobble a life together, living at odds with one another until they run into trouble from the outside.
We also meet several English tourists, including a young couple engaged to be married and confronting each other's weaknesses and idiosyncrasies for the first time, and an older woman imagining a new life while fantasizing about never returning home.
What the critics say
"The simultaneous sense of stasis and great change is Ali's forte, and her characters' perceptions are sharp." (Publishers Weekly)
