Critics Review

In this dazzling and moving literary debut, Lorena Salazar takes us to the heart of the Colombian jungle and shows us, with an enveloping and addictive prose, sorority in its purest form and the brutal contrasts of human nature. * Fernanda Melchor, author of HURRICANE SEASON *
A novel of breathtaking landscapes and an accurate portrait of mothers’ fears, and of violence, always latent, like a wild beast lurking in the dark * Pilar Quintana, author of THE BITCH *
A brilliant debut novel * Vogue *
Remarkable … Salazar Masso has managed to create a work of fiction that is both compelling and painful. A book that will leave you breathless. * Morning Star *
