A man revisits his unconventional relationship with his father.
This book begins in the wake of loss as narrator Hector Peterson points out that he and his father, Winston Telemacque, are visiting the island of Dominica almost one year after the death of Hector’s mother. That’s not the only grounds for concern, however: It’s 2017, and Hector and Winston are on the island during devastating Hurricane Maria. As the storm worsens, Hector looks back on his life and wonders whether this will be the end.
