Lost Embrace (New Yorker)
Price 29.95 USD
Set in Buenos Aires’ vibrant Jewish community, Lost Embrace conjures up an irresistible ensemble of engaging and quirky characters that pursue their dreams with humor, passion and an infectious generosity of spirit. Ariel is a recent college dropout with hopes of escaping a career at his mother’s lingerie store in a multi-cultural shopping mall. The job comes with its perks, but as tantalizing as helping beautiful women slip in and out of lingerie can be, Ariel seeks a more fulfilling life. Dressing-room trysts with sexy vixen Rita can’t go on forever; and Estela, his now pregnant ex-girlfriend, no longer needs him. While hoping to secure a European passport, which will allow him to travel the world, Ariel first has to shake a head-spinning dose of reality: his long-lost father is about to return, forcing Ariel to accept a long-overdue reunion with the father he has been running away from all his life.
