Publisher's Synopsis
In Quito, Ecuador, English boy Anti and his classmate Fabián are friends. Fabián lives with his eccentric Uncle Suarez. Suarez tells wonderful stories, and soon the boys, sharing his passion, are united entirely through the medium of storytelling. One subject is taboo: Fabián's parents. But when details surrounding their disappearance emerge, Anti consoles his friend with a story suggesting that Fabián's mother may be living at a bizarre hospital for patients with memory loss. With reality losing its grip, the boys embark on a quixotic voyage across Ecuador in search of an 'Amnesia Clinic' that may or may not exist...
