Lina has dreamed for years of leaving her tiny village in the drought-stricken region. Her son left long ago to find work and a better fortune. Relicario, her husband, is content to stay put in the land of his ancestors, tending to their graves. Ignoring Relicario's pleas, a desperate Lina decides to abandon their home in search of her son, work, and water. She starts her journey on foot, and Relicario eventually follows behind, bringing a donkey and a sack with his ancestors' bones. Both witness unspeakable violence, cruelty, and folly, but the hope of reuniting their family keeps them alive. Poetically charged, restrained, and delicately condensed, this suspenseful novel captures the haunting cycle of perpetual inequality and its impact on families in Latin America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mariana Travacio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e World Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/06\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.39d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781642861730\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMariana Travacio\u003c\/b\u003e is the critically acclaimed, award-winning author of the novels \u003ci\u003eAll That Dies in April \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eComo si existiese el perdón\u003c\/i\u003e (Such a Thing as Forgiveness), as well as three short story collections.
