En las orillas de un lago glaciar en el corazón de la península de Kenai, en Alaska, Irene y Gary han construido su vida, criando a dos hijos que ahora son adultos. Pero después de treinta años de una vida sin brillo, Gary está decidido a construir en un islote desolado la cabaña con la que siempre ha soñado. Irene se resigna a acompañarlo a pesar de los inexplicables dolores de cabeza que la asaltan y no le dan respiro. Arrastrada a pesar de sí misma por la obsesión de su marido, lo ve poco a poco empantanarse en este proyecto desmesurado. Su hija Rhoda, absorta en sus propios sueños de vida familiar, se convierte en testigo del cara a cara de sus padres, mientras se anuncia un invierno precoz y violento que hará el islote aún más inaccesible. Segundo novela de David Vann, es una obra magistral sobre el amor y la soledad. Desolaciones confirma el talento infinito de su autor para explorar las debilidades y las verdades del alma humana.
