DESCRIPTION

Audible Winner: Best Discovery Since 1492

Found in the treacherous Strait of Gibraltar, a man who answers only to the name of Christopher Columbus is delivered to a mental institution in Seville, Spain. Nurse Consuela, a lonely young woman searching for love, listens to his fantastical tales of adventure and romance day after day, and tries desperately to discover his true identity and why he has been locked up.

Meanwhile, Emile Germaine, an Interpol officer based in France, receives a memo about an enigmatic figure, possibly a dangerous assailant, who is missing from the scene of a crime. All paths lead to Spain, where Germaine finds himself on a journey that seems like a wild goose chase. Unbeknownst to him, as well as to the doctors at the Sevilla Institute, Emile is unraveling more than just one mystery.



REVIEWS

“Trofimuk is a master of feeling.”—Globe and Mail

“One of the buzzy books of the Canadian fiction year....Part romance, part mystery, the novel has been drawing early comparisons to Michael Ondaatje's The English Patient....Waiting for Columbus is a mind-blower in its own right, a story unmoored in time by virtue of its mysterious protagonist....”—Edmonton Journal

“Grover Gardner's sensitive and well-paced reading gives cohesion to a rambling story. This is not an audiobook to multitask to—as reality and illusion are in danger of becoming merged for the listener as well as for the patient.”—AudioFile
