Thelma’s husband is a writer missing in Cuba, and while she searches for him with few clues to guide her, she converses with the ghost of her father, confronts her abandoned dreams, and contemplates the nature of secrets. Her new companions, a single woman on vacation and two charming cab drivers, insist on accompanying her. And, after discovering Wally’s diary, she is certain that he is not alone.

“Part mystery, part history, part travelogue, Elizabeth Haynes introduces us to Thelma, a woman who, after being stood up by her husband at a Cuban airport asks the question, why are women always waiting for men? A curious note left by Wally has Thelma reframing and examining her marriage. Told in a quippy and fun manner, the book tips flawlessly between past and present when Thelma refuses to put her vacation on hold and instead goes on a quest for answers that lead to a personal journey of remembrance and intrigue. What and why we hold onto false ideals is at the heart of this book as we collectively discover that often being lost is key to allowing life to begin. This is a lovely and unforgettable novel.”
— Katherin Edwards, author of A Thin Band
“Expertly entwining present and past, ordinary and extraordinary, comedy and seriousness, this sparkling novel about a likably cranky Calgary parks manager in Cuba resounds with depth. A multi-faceted, satisfying read.”
— Anne Fleming, author of The Goat
