LA CONSAGRACIÓN DE UNA DE LAS GRANDES SORPRESAS DE LA LITERATURA LATINOAMERICANA Por la autora de Cometierra, «una revelación lectora» (Babelia) y uno de los mejores libros del año para The New York Times, El País y El Cultural, traducido a doce idiomas. «La escritura de Dolores Reyes es visceral y urgente, pero también se inscribe en la tradición más poderosa del fantástico y el policial, al tiempo que piensa la violencia de género con enorme lucidez».--Mariana Enriquez   «Me había jurado no volver a comer tierra y ahora me quema la lengua y me ruge el estómago reclamándola. La tierra está llena de secretos pero no para mí». Cometierra ha elegido dos cosas: un barrio nuevo y no volver a usar su poder adivinatorio nunca más. Rodeada de desconocidos, va saliendo poco a poco de su encierro y aprende a manejarse en su nuevo entorno, al tiempo que aguarda el nacimiento de su sobrino, hijo de su hermano Walter y de su novia, Miseria. Es precisamente esta última quien, al ver en el don de Cometierra un lucrativo potencial económico, la anima a recuperar las visiones que le permitían encontrar a gente desaparecida. Para ello, tendrá que resolver casos recientes y antiguos, desvelar secretos de su historia familiar y poner su vida en las manos de una bruja más poderosa que ella. Solo cree poder confiar en la seño Ana, que por medio de sus sueños la guía y aconseja, pero pronto descubrirá que ahora cuenta con nuevos amigos y una aliada incondicional: Miseria. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION THE ENSHRINEMENT OF ONE OF THE GREATEST SURPRISES IN LATIN AMERICAN LITERATURE. By the author of Eartheater, "a reading revelation" (Babelia) and one of the best books of the year according to The New York Times, El País, and El Cultural, translated into twelve languages. "Dolores Reyes' narrative is intense and pressing, but it is also inscribed in the most powerful tradition of fantasy and crime fiction, all the while considering gender violence with immense lucidity." --Mariana Enríquez "I had sworn never to eat earth again, and now it burns my tongue, and my stomach roars demanding. The earth is full of secrets, but not for me." Eartheater has made two choices: moving to a new neighborhood and not using her prophetic powers ever again. Surrounded by strangers, little by little, she leaves her confinement and learns to handle herself in this new environment while waiting for her nephew's birth, the son of her brother Walter and his girlfriend, Misery. It is precisely the latter who, seeing a profitable economic potential in Eartheater's gift, encourages her to restore the visions that allowed her to find missing people. To do so, she must solve recent and old cases, reveal secrets of her family history, and put her life in the hands of a witch more powerful than she. Eartheater thinks she can trust no one but Miss Ana, who guides and advises Eartheater in her dreams. But, she soon will discover that she now has new friends and an unconditional ally--Misery.… (more)
