Lies by Enrique de Heriz
As far as the outside world is concerned, Isabel Garcia Luna is dead. But Isabel is not dead, she is very much alive and hiding in a remote shack in the jungle. She isn't ready to tell the world about her continuing existence, in fact, she's not sure that she ever will. Serena, Isabel's daughter, is trying to write the family history before it is lost altogether. Above all, she is obsessed with the story of Simon, her grandfather, who survived a shipwreck and three days at sea before being rescued. Ever since she was a child, Serena has been tantalised by the story, yet the irony is that she isn't investigating the one story she really should, that of her mother's death.
