the long version

The death of Tom Riley's wife has left him "tilting, out of balance." He travels to Mexico, where they honeymooned, as a pilgrimage to love's memory. An American writer, herself an expatriate escaping from her painful past, befriends him, sensing that he has a story to tell. "Change the plot," she advises. "Introduce new characters.".
