From the author of National Book Award 2021 Finalist The Bitch
Claudia is an impressionable eight-year-old girl, trying to
understand the world through the eyes of the adults around her. But
her hardworking father hardly speaks a word, while her unhappy
mother spends her days reading celebrity lifestyle magazines,
tending to her enormous collection of plants, and filling Claudia's
head with stories about women who end their lives in tragic ways.
Then an interloper arrives, disturbing the delicate balance of
family life, and Claudia's world starts falling apart. In this
strikingly vivid portrait of Cali, Colombia, Claudia's acute
observations remind us that children are capable of discerning
extremely complex realities even if they cannot fully understand
them. In Abyss, Quintana leads us brilliantly into the lonely heart
of the child we have all once been, driven by fear of abandonment.
