ABOUT THE BOOK
A fierce, witty novel about growing up and transformation, from a bold new voice in Latin American fiction.
It’s a rainy weekend in Bogotá, and eighteen-year-old Melissa is about to graduate from school – if, that is, she can scrape together the money to pay for the printer she broke. Melissa used to break a lot of things, but after five years living with her aunt Anahí, she has become much better at controlling her anger.
Then, out of the blue and for the first time in six months, Melissa’s mother calls and invites her to spend the weekend together in their old neighbourhood. Melissa is excited, but nervous about returning to the scene of her troubled early adolescence. Will she make it to Monday morning without jeopardising her future – or being swallowed up by her past?
