Sinossi
Chiamata a lavorare in un centro di ricerca per studiare la migrazione delle farfalle monarca, l'entomologa Liz Crane si trasferisce a vivere nella fattoria in riva al lago dove ha trascorso le estati della sua infanzia. Il luogo, un tempo affollato da zii e cugini, e dai lavoratori che giungevano annualmente dal Messico per la raccolta, ormai è caduto in rovina. Osservando attorno a sé i resti di un mondo scomparso, la donna ripercorre con la memoria quel passato luminoso, ma a gettare un'ombra sui ricordi è lo spettro di ciò che avvenne dopo, la successione di eventi che, come un cataclisma, hanno sconvolto un equilibrio apparentemente immutabile. Una trama di perdite e assenze che s'intrecciano in una vicenda densa di simbologie.
