According to Mariana Enriquez, “My favourite book of the year. It is a book of stories within stories, set in a fictional village, and it is a delight. It has a brutal melancholy, but it is very funny. It is a reflection about maternity and the possibilities of stories and life, about what it is to be trapped and what it is to be free, and somehow, also about writing. I laughed, cried, was left dazzled. Total favourite.”

Fernández offers us a story that profoundly and sensibly reflects on literary creation, art as a refuge, failure, the loneliness of the misunderstood, the contradicting emotions that motherhood fosters, and those wounds from childhood that every adult hides within themselves.
