The Last Thing He Wanted

Joan Didion

It is 1984. Elena McMahon, estranged from her powerful husband in California and reporting from the presidential election campaign, makes her way to Florida to see her evasive, gruff father, who does deals. Through him, she finds herself in a situation in Central America, where things were hotting up again, knowing neither what to expect, what to demand, nor what to call achievement.
