The Maos are a wealthy family whom Tilly recalls as regular guests at her house in Baja. They brought their children for summer visits, where they swam and ate fish tacos. Beyond this remembered domestic scene, the novel gives them no individual story or defining relationships.
Description
The novel describes the Maos as a wealthy family with children, but provides no individual physical details. Their ages, skin tones, hair, eyes, builds, and clothing are unspecified. Any depiction should treat them as a family group rather than assign a definitive appearance to any member.
