My Review: This is a truly magnificent novel that get you involved from the beginning till the last page. The author has such a great sensibility in transforming his characters in almost real persons, that we cheer for them to succeed. His description of the environment is done in such a level of details that we feel like we are participating and living in the middle of the story.
The plot develops under the character named Serge. He just lost his beloved wife and is raising his son Max on his own. Struggling with the economy, although he is an architect, he lands in a job as a "house manager", and he soon realise that there is much more into this job than he initially thought. As an authentic man, provided with solid moral principles, Serge starts gaining the trust of his employers with his devoted work. In a business trip to Belize he finds this old lady called Nana and his life is shaken. His search for the meaning of life takes him to an incredible journey and you will not be able to put the book down until you finish the story.
I recommend this book to any reader willing to spend a couple of days reading an excellent novel that will make you want to be a better person.
