Animals at the End of the World begins with an explosion, which
six-year-old Ines mistakes for the end of the world that she has
long feared. In the midst of the chaos, she meets the maid's
granddaughter, Maria, who becomes her best friend and with whom she
navigates the adult world in her grandparents' confined house.
Together, they escape the house and confront the "animals" that
populate Bogota in the 1980s. But Ines soon realizes she cannot
count on either Maria or her preoccupied and conflicted parents.
Alone, she must learn to decipher her outer and inner worlds,
confronting both armies of beasts and episodes of domestic chaos.
In the process, she also learns what it means to test boundaries,
break rules, and cope with the consequences. The first novel by
Colombian author Gloria Susana Esquivel, Animals at the End of the
World is a poetic and moving coming-of-age story that lingers long
after its final page.
