Tindara

One ordinary morning, Ari wakes up in the back row of an old bus in Santiago with a single word penciled on his palm: Tindara. His phone and wallet are gone, his apartment building has vanished — and the reflection in a bakery window shows a thirteen-year-old boy.

Guided by his grandmother Diana, a tarot reader who believes in signs, Ari learns he is trapped in a dream with maps and consequences: he must retrace the steps of his own past without changing a single thing, or lose the life — and the wife, Josefina — waiting for him on the other side.

From a library built around a thousand-year-old tree to a forgotten letter from Jules Verne, from the legend of La Quintrala, Chiles most feared woman, to a hidden sea cave on the Pacific coast, Ari follows owls, moons, and a red flower toward the one thing he forgot.

Tindara is a novel about memory, grief, and the kind of love that waits across time — a magical-realist journey through Chile that asks what we would be willing to relive for the people we love.
