A ravishing novel about Nicaragua and overall South America, a pursuit on many levels, a book about a couple and its flights, a tribute to the life in and for hotels, a science fiction, which arises from the time difference between southern and northern hemisphere of the world, a family history, in which everything that life plannings want to avoid goes wrong, a crime novel with one of the most likeable inspectors one can imagine, clumsy, but with a true good nose, a book about the forgetting and hardship of remembering, for which the protagonist – one of the many protagonists of this book! – made a nice invention: the Managua games!
