About this product

A group of friends is great. Until it turns against you. Full of enthusiasm, half-Hispanic Lili leaves for the Pyrenees with her five roommates. Her uncle has asked her to look after El Refugio, his hotel that gets cut off from civilization during the winter months due to heavy snowfall. At the very last minute, one of the housemates decides to ask an old school friend to come along, the flamboyant Monica. The rest respond benevolently, but Monica's presence changes the group dynamic and a toxic atmosphere develops. Lili increasingly falls outside the group, and one night things get so terribly out of hand that one person dies. Seventeen years later, Lili is still mentally struggling with the effects of the traumatic stay in the Pyrenees. As a ghostwriter, she leads an anonymous and isolated existence, and antidepressants keep her going. When one of Lili's former roommates commits suicide, she decides to confront the others with the past (Paperback)
