Edging Spain, southern France, and Portugal, a midlife Canadian couple tracks landscapes between bliss and burnout, art and love. After the rigors of backpacking and wild camping, a Formentera cottage offers cozy comfort, honeymoon bliss, creative freedom. Noella sketches in watercolor, while Wilson skirts the boundaries of the postmodern novel. Amid the wild and picturesque beauty of landscape and sea, their refuge becomes a crucible of creative and romantic tension. Will it yield despair and separation—or, through willing embrace, a new intimacy, a new metafictional art?
