ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
In Guinea's new house, the walls are mirrored from floor to ceiling, the curtains are almost always closed, and the rooms smell of soap and pine-scented disinfectant. Guinea's new father wears so many scents that her nose tickles when he comes near and, like a vampire, he can't stand daylight. He claims he sleepwalks, and Guinea is always waking up to find him there. No one else seems to notice he is a vampire except her new older brother, Pascual, who tells her stories to explain the things she doesn't understand. Guinea's refuge is a vast secret garden, home to mist and a colony of rabbits. Time seems to pass more quickly there, and she learns to stay quiet, silent, hardly daring to breathe.
In this her second novel, Ximena Santaolalla, winner of the 2021 Mauricio Achar-Random House Prize, brings us an ominous tale about the most intimate kind of horror: family dysfunction.
