The Regal Lemon Tree

Synopsis

A haunting novel of grief from one of Argentina's greatest modernist writers. One of the late Juan José Saer's most beloved novels, The Regal Lemon Tree shows a master stylist at his best. Set during day and night of New Year's Eve—building up a barbecue that takes on ritual significance—the novel focuses on a couple in the north of Argentina who lost their only son eight years prior.
