A charming dark-haired woman books a room at a secluded hotel on an island with a beautiful view of the blue lagoon. During the day she visits her mother’s grave on a hill, and in the evening she enjoys salsa and bolero music in the hotel bar. She’s happily married, but every year in August she leaves for a distant island to spend a passionate night with another man. “See you in August” is a gripping novel that turns out to be an unexpected gift from a prominent writer.
