Описание книги

Susan Ouriou's first novel explores a season in the life of three women, two sisters – on an artist, the other a codemaker – and their mother. The women have made their separate ways from Montreal to Mexico, the land of their father and husband gone missing ten years ago. Their reunion is a grudging one and their love often aching, uncertain, and flawed. The women's family resembles that of the damselfish, a family of dear enemies where each member jealously guards its own patch of coral reef yet unites with the others to stave off incursions from the outside. A valiant, yet too often futile effort, since, like the damselfish, these women are without defences or camouflage.

She straightened my books on my rough pine board bookshelf, pausing for a second when she saw what they were. Papi’s books of poems.

She set the boom box on the floor next to the bed then turned to face me, where I lay watching her still. “Want a back rub?” I hadn’t had one for years now; from nightly occurrences when we were kids, they slowly tapered off after Papi left.
