Description

Such Small Hands by Andrés Barba is a haunting and lyrical novel that explores the pain of loss and the hunger for acceptance. When seven-year-old Marina arrives at an orphanage, she brings with her a sense of difference that sparks both fascination and fear among the other girls. As Marina struggles to find her place, she invents a game whose rules are dictated by a haunting violence. The novel's prose is hypnotic and evocative, alternating between Marina's perspective and the collective voice of the other girls. This powerful and unsettling tale casts a light on our darkest feelings, inviting readers to confront the complexities of human experience. Written in a unique and captivating style, Such Small Hands is a thought-provoking exploration of the human condition.
