Description

Signs Preceding the End of the World is a powerful and thought-provoking novel that explores the complexities of identity, language, and belonging. Yuri Herrera's gripping story follows Makina, a young woman who embarks on a perilous journey to find her brother in the United States.

Makina's experiences are marked by violence, machismo, and the constant need to navigate multiple worlds. She carries two secret messages with her - one from her mother and one from the Mexican underworld - which serve as a reminder of her past and her uncertain future.

This haunting and unflinching novel is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in stories about identity, migration, and the human condition. With its unique blend of literary fiction and visionary themes, Signs Preceding the End of the World is a book that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
