New York Times Book Review «Que un acto de tal brutalidad inspire una narración tan hermosa como esta es razón suficiente para que este debut literario destaque entre la multitud». The Independent «Ruskovich no tiene miedo de abordar la complicada ambigüedad de la vida #real#, ni la dificultad de conocer verdaderamente a otra persona, y nos ofrece sus revelaciones con seguridad y habilidad». Kate Saunders, The Times «La escritura de Ruskovich está bien desarrollada y es muy poética, sobre todo cuando evoca la naturaleza y el clima en los bosques, y el contraste que estos generan con la vida claustrofóbica de Jenny en prisión resulta muy efectivo. Una lectura triste, envolvente». Fanny Blake, Daily Mail *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
LOS ANGELES TIMES BESTSELLER - A stunning debut novel about love and forgiveness, about the violence of memory and the equal violence of its loss--from O. Henry Prize-winning author Emily Ruskovich
WINNER OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST BOOK AWARD - WINNER OF THE DUBLIN LITERARY AWARD - NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY BUZZFEED
Ann and Wade have carved out a life for themselves from a rugged landscape in northern Idaho, where they are bound together by more than love. With her husband's memory fading, Ann attempts to piece together the truth of what happened to Wade's first wife, Jenny, and to their daughters. In a story written in exquisite prose and told from multiple perspectives--including Ann, Wade, and Jenny, now in prison--we gradually learn of the mysterious and shocking act that fractured Wade and Jenny's lives, of the love and compassion that brought Ann and Wade together, and of the memories that reverberate through the lives of every character in Idaho.
In a wild emotional and physical landscape, Wade's past becomes the center of Ann's imagination, as Ann becomes determined to understand the family she never knew--and to take responsibility for them, reassembling their lives, and her own.
