Peruvian singer-songwriter Juan Manuel Carpio, abandoned by his wife in Paris, falls in love with Fernanda María del Monte Montes, a Salvadoran aristocrat. The relationship progresses through brief encounters and correspondence, with an epistolary air; he calls her Tarzán for her devotion to the emotional and political currents of a turbulent Latin America in the eighties.

For readers of Latin American fiction and romantic stories with an epistolary backdrop.
