His wife, Pilar, distracts him by telling him drawn-out and convoluted stories, hiding him behind so many twists and turns that even Death itself will not be able to find him.

The next morning Bruce sets out on a journey to follow these clues and to find Pilar.Saudade is the sixth novel from award-winning writer Thomas Trofimuk.
