Description
Book SynopsisLove and life is a struggle in paradise: welcome to Limón. Ramiro leaves the British drizzle and his beloved fiancé Yoss to investigate his family history back home in Costa Rica.

This intimate and evocative graphic novel uncovers a family secret, set against the idyllic Caribbean coastline in one of the most beautiful countries in Latin America. Author Edo Brenes weaves together the heartbreaking and humbling stories of three generations.
