Description
A woman once known only as “China” sets out across Argentina’s frontier in a covered wagon, carrying the weight of a life rewritten by others and the courage to claim her own story. As she travels from the pampas into indigenous territories, she forms a fierce, tender bond with Liz—a Scottish companion who offers both education and a sharp-eyed critique of empire—while their journey becomes a riotous, intimate reimagining of national myth. With humor, lyric energy, and postcolonial clarity, the novel reframes the classic epic *Martín Fierro* through feminist and LGBT perspectives, foregrounding language, belonging, and the politics of who gets to be named. Gabriela Cabezón Cámara’s distinctive style blends adventure with literary dialogue, turning history and tradition into a living, questioning force.
