Fonseca by Jessica Francis Kane
In 1952 Penelope Fitzgerald, coping with a difficult marriage and young children, travels to northern Mexico with her son after learning of a possible inheritance from distant Delaney relatives. What follows is an unpredictable three‑month stay in the town of Fonseca—between rival claimants, eccentric locals, and encounters with artists—during which she must manage fragile finances, a chaotic household, and her son’s safety. The novel is a fictionalized, intimate portrait of that season in her life.
