Talking to Ourselves: A Novel

Lito is ten years old and dreams about trucks. Mario is terminally ill with cancer and is beginning to doubt his own memory. Before it's too late they take their first, and likely final, road trip together as father and son, in which they share much more time and space. Meanwhile, Elena - mother and wife - immerses herself in a cathartic and risky love affair that tests her moral limits, even as she plunges more deeply into literature, encountering herself again and again in books.
