Eventually, their ambitions pull the lovers in different directionsin Gonzalos case, all the way to New York. Though Gonzalo takes his books when he goes, still, Vicente inherits his ex-stepfathers love of poetry. When, at eighteen, Vicente meets Pru, an American journalist literally and figuratively lost in Santiago, he encourages her to write about Chilean poetsnot the famous, dead kind, your Nerudas or Mistrals or Bolaos, but rather the living, striving, everyday ones. Prus research leads her into this eccentric communityanother kind of family, dysfunctional but ultimately loving. Will it also lead Vicente and Gonzalo back to each other?
