Gentleman from Peru

A group of young Americans stay at a luxury hotel in southern Italy, where mostly summer tourists vacation. While their yacht is being repaired, the friends, looking for entertainment, watch a mysterious stranger in the restaurant every evening. He seems aloof and strange, but one day he suddenly comes to their table. He arranges a miraculous healing session, and later reveals intimate details from the lives of each of those present - things that no one should ever know about... And this is just the beginning - ahead is a bizarre journey into the past and a love story born in a mythical place, where broken hearts wander the fields of the underworld. The story takes on a special sound thanks to Aciman's signature style and his delicate ability to immerse readers in the most intimate depths of feelings.
