He spends his nights obsessing over reporters' unnecessary \"thats\" and his days caring for a demented father he knows should be in twenty-four-hour care. Eli is too busy—and too self-absorbed—to acknowledge what's missing in his life. But then, on a single day in February 2008, Eli loses his job and his father. Alone and adrift, he begrudgingly accepts his sister's gift: a two-week forget-it-all vacation to Cuba. After a series of misadventures, he meets Mariela—an off-the-books, thirtysomething tour guide—and falls in love. But does Mariela fall for Eli, or is he just her ticket to a new life? Eli and Mariela each have secrets they're not ready to share—until they have no choice. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eA bittersweet story that takes readers from Havana, to Halifax, to Miami, and back again, \u003ci\u003eThe Sweetness in the Lime\u003c\/i\u003e is a charming, clever novel that peels back the rind to discover there really is sweetness in the lime of life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kimber, Stephen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Atlantic Canada)","offer_id":42459578630368,"sku":"","price":14.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0330\/3125\/8248\/products\/BNCImageAPI_852cdb6e-b2be-42d4-8091-8f17f34d3871.jpg?v=1645382489","url":"https:\/\/agricola-street-books.myshopify.com\/products\/the-sweetness-in-the-limebooks","provider":"Agricola Street Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
