More about the book

Get enthralled in a world, both glamorous and grotesque, of love and rage, of trust and betrayal. A tale of decisions and consequences, of wanting everything and nothing at once. A pleasant dream of escapism from the modern world.?This is a tale of Nicanor, a fisherman on a tropical island, content with living the Hemingway lifestyle of writing, drinking, and catching Marlins. A former Marine, now modern-day expatriate, who can't see his world changing as Mabel, a creature of stunning, yet simplistic beauty, emerges from the ocean. She is the essence of carpe diem with a strict policy of laissez faire, who captivates him, but brings with her the world he fought to leave behind. With troubles from a local gangster and a blood-thirsty shark, Nicanor is torn between the wild parties, the decadence of his wealthy new friends and the fleeting independence of his isolation.
