SHORTLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER INTERNATIONAL PRIZE 2017 A young
woman named Amanda lies dying in a rural hospital clinic. A boy
named David sits beside her. She's not his mother. He's not her
child. The two seem anxious and, at David's ever more insistent
prompting, Amanda recounts a series of events from the apparently
recent past. As David pushes her to recall whatever trauma has
landed her in her terminal state, he unwittingly opens a chest of
horrors, and suddenly the terrifying nature of their reality is
brought into shocking focus. One of the freshest new voices to come
out of the Spanish language, Samanta Schweblin creates an aura of
strange and deeply unsettling psychological menace in this
cautionary tale of maternal love, broken souls and the power and
desperation of family.

Loot has done it again with their efficient packaging! the book itself is smaller than most books in size. The writing flows well and at first will be confusing. There aren’t a lot of characters but you will have to be vigilant to understand what’s happening in the novel!
