The Secret Beach

About the Book

Lucio is an obscure and melancholic accountant who lives a quiet and regular life comprised of work, weekend travel, several love stories with young girls, and reading. He is sometimes nostalgic for his past recent youth. One day, Lucio discovers an inaccessible and secluded beach, where the beauty of nature, a magical atmosphere, and a strange magnetism lead him to live extraordinary sensitive experiences, the reality of which he will doubt himself years after. In a wild and uncontaminated nature that seems to exist in a parallel and mysterious dimension, the protagonist can live his fantasies, entering a secret and transcendent world. On this beach, Lucio will encounter his true love: Valentina.
