A stylish, unsettling work of psychological suspense about an American woman, adrift in Mexico for a year, whose chance encounter with a glamorous older expat spirals into obsession and betrayal. nTheres no one, theres only you. n nWhen Sally, an American living in San Miguel de Allende, meets Louise outside her childrens school, shes eager to immerse herself more deeply in the life of the city. In Mexico for just a year with her husband, an architect, Sally is entranced by Louise--her elegance, her harshness, her stories about Burroughs, Ginsberg, and Kerouac--and the two quickly become inseparable. Soon enough, Louise has begun calling her Mia and, at first playfully, then in earnest, introducing Sally as her daughter to a growing circle of friends. n nBy turns enthralled with the possibility of a new identity in Mexico and troubled by Louises magnetic hold over her, Sally attempts to keep the relationship a secret from her husband. As the specter of Sallys troubled childhood looms, and Louises self-mythologizing tightens its grip, the two women test the limits of reinvention--until their fictions threaten the security of Sallys flesh-and-blood family. n nA taut, beguiling work of psychological suspense, Mia is a mother-daughter story turned on its head and a high-intensity fable about the limitations of playing a role that doesnt belong to you.n
