Más información sobre el libro

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author comes a deeply moving novel about the resilience of the human spirit during a crisis. Diana O'Toole has a clear life plan: marry by thirty, have kids by thirty-five, and climb the professional ladder in the competitive art auction world. As an associate specialist at Sotheby's, she is on the brink of a promotion, especially with her boyfriend Finn, a surgical resident, expected to propose during their romantic getaway to the Galapagos, just before her thirtieth birthday. However, a virus that seemed distant suddenly impacts their plans. On the eve of their departure, Finn must stay behind to help at the hospital, urging Diana to go alone to avoid wasting their nonrefundable trip. Reluctantly, she embarks on the journey, but her dream vacation quickly unravels. With lost luggage, poor Wi-Fi, and a hotel shut down due to the pandemic, she finds herself stranded on a quarantined island. Isolated and challenged, Diana steps beyond her comfort zone, forming a bond with a local family as a teenager shares a secret with her, despite parental suspicion. In the Galapagos, she reflects on her relationships and choices, questioning how she might evolve by the time she returns home.
