Description
A young boy's desperate bid for freedom ends in a desolate landscape. As he listens to the men searching for him, he is forced to confront the harsh reality of his situation. It is here that his journey takes an unexpected turn, crossing paths with an old cabrero who will change both their lives forever. In this powerful and poignant novel, Jesús Carrasco explores a world ravaged by drought and violence, where morality seems lost. Through the use of archetypes, Carrasco crafts a hard-hitting narrative that is both beautiful and brutal. The result is a word-for-word tale that weaves together the harsh landscape with the characters' struggles, creating a story that bursts forth from the dry earth with a sense of dignity and resilience.
