Sarah is no longer a traveller. A nurse at the clinic in Oaxaca, she gets a work permit, a flat of her own and a crooked bookcase, visits Camila in Chiapas, and has to decide whether to go back to Boston. Learn to say what you want, hope, doubt and wish, and what you would do if things were different.

Sarah's first summer as a resident of Oaxaca: a first birth, the midwife course, her parents' visit, the Guelaguetza, a storm on the coast with Mateo, Camila's new cafe and Valeria's engagement. Learn every way to talk about the past, and about what might have been: if I had known, I wish I had, as if it had been.

Valeria's wedding in Guadalajara, Christmas with Julian's family in Teotitlan, a night shift that goes wrong, and an email from Seville. Sarah has to decide whether to leave Mexico. Learn the Spanish that sounds natural: I've just, I wish I could, as long as, however much, it's about time.
