The Honorary Consul
“First they betrayed him. Then they gambled with his life.”
Set in a small politically unstable Latin American country, the story follows the half English and half Latino Dr. Eduardo Plarr, who left his home to find a better life. Along the way he meets an array of people, including British Consul Charley Fortnum, a representative in Latin America who is trying to keep Revolution from occurring. He is also a remorseful alcoholic. Another person the doctor meets is Clara, whom he immediately falls in love with, but there is a problem: Clara is Charley's wife.
A simmering pot of political unrest and personal betrayal. The air is thick with unspoken desires and the looming threat of violence. It's a slow burn, exploring the messy intersections of love, duty, and revolution in a volatile landscape.
