Una vida buscando

Like something washed ashore, Rothko Taylor has returned to his hometown. Fifteen years have passed since he left it behind, and perhaps, he thinks, he should have started over somewhere where no one knew his name. Here, the past hurtles toward him: the boys skating down Main Street, transporting him back to his teenage years; the splintered benches by the sea where his mother, Meg, chugged cans; the affluent neighborhood where his father, Ezra, tried and failed to build a happy home. And Dionne's apartment building. Dionne, beautiful and extraordinary, the only person who ever looked at him and saw what was inside. Then, overwhelmed and afraid, she sank beneath the surface, into the chaos. But she survived. And this time, Rothko is determined to make things different. Ten years after her last novel, Kae Tempest returns with a poignant story about family and forgiveness; redemption and atonement; desire and abandonment; Identity and community. About what we seek when we hide and what can find us if we dare to let ourselves be seen.
