Description

"Celia and Fernando, a long-married couple suddenly alone after their only daughter marries, embark on a cruise to the Caribbean islands to revitalize their sagging marriage. With the complicity of another passenger, the mysterious Julieta, Celia and Fernando lose themselves and their inhibitions as they turn to others to fulfill their fantasies of passion and destruction. Through a series of adventures on board the ship and on different islands, Celia and Fernando bring themselves to the brink of ecstasy and self annihilation. As visitors on exotic soils, made delirious by the heat and their own heady lusts, the aging lovers mix fantasy and reality until their wild adventure burns itself out, nearly taking them with it.". "Juxtaposed with the animal passions conjured by the married couple is a series of lyrical love letters to "Angela" from "Abel," two lovers with a secret of their own, explored but not explained until the very end, when their fate mirrors that of Celia and Fernando."--BOOK JACKET.
