Description
In this luminous and transfixing novel, an eight-year-old girl named Claudia navigates a world of unspoken tensions and adult anxieties in Cali, Colombia. Her quiet father and her melancholic mother, who fills Claudia's mind with cautionary tales of tragic women, create a fragile domestic landscape. When an outsider disrupts their delicate balance, Claudia's innocent observations begin to reveal the complex and often heartbreaking realities of fractured family life. Pilar Quintana masterfully captures the lonely heart of a child grappling with fear and the dawning awareness of profound truths, reminding us of the discerning power of childhood perception.
