Our 🍷✨ final book club of the year ✨🍷 will take place one week from today on Tuesday, December 4th at 7PM. Join us! #litsyndicate Claudio is a haughty Cuban expat with a misanthropic streak and an outsized sense of entitlement to boot. Though he's carved out a comfortable existence in New York City, Claudio dreams of his perfectly matched companion, a woman of refined taste and impeccable manners. Cecilia is a pensive Mexican grad student and a recent transplant to Paris. Braced by aloof Parisian manners and the winter's bitter cold, Cecilia is driven into seclusion until she embarks on an intense romantic friendship with her next-door neighbor, Tom. After Tom suddenly departs for a trip of indeterminate length, Cecilia finds herself at sea, incapable of coping with the her obsessive yearning. Here Claudio and Cecilia cross paths, producing a fascinating glimpse into the narratives people encrypt on one another in moments of loneliness and desperation. Beautifully evocative of place, After the Winter vaults from Oaxaca to Cuba to New York City to Paris, lingering at last in Père Lachaise. At once devastating and redolent of the delicate pleasures that make life worth living, After the Winter is a subtle and profound novel filled with unforgettable characters and motifs. #guadalupenettel #afterthewinter (at Unabridged Bookstore) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqsxmGnnsLi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=kcpeg37s3mll
