Pachamama

Alia is a high school student. She grew up in a small town in the south of France. Scarred by the loss of her father and the grief that follows, she sets out to unravel the mysteries of her past. Pachamama tells the story of a young girl's desperate search, caught between two cultures and two histories, between the past and the future.

In this novel, Gabriela Blava manages to reconcile paradoxes and overcome contradictions. By turns funny and moving, serious and light-hearted, Pachamama seeks answers to the existential questions, both personal and spiritual, that adolescence brings-and life beyond it. A novel with endearing characters. A testament to humanity. A profound and universal story. Heart-wrenching.
