The Gentleman from Peru

Set against the sun-soaked backdrop of the Amalfi Coast, The Gentleman from Peru follows a group of young American tourists whose luxury vacation is stranded due to a broken-down yacht. While staying at a hotel on the coast, they meet Raúl, an enigmatic, impeccably dressed older gentleman from Peru. As Raúl engages with them, he mysteriously reveals deeply intimate details about their pasts, secrets, and unspoken desires—details no stranger could possibly know. A haunting and lyrical tale, the novel explores themes of fate, second chances, memory, and the enduring power of love across time.
