The latest novel by the author of Pink Slime, winner of the 2021 Sor Juana In s de la Cruz Prize.

"Harsh, lyrical, cruel, and with a rare sweetness from voices almost no one hears, much less writes about. The Hill of Wrath is a powerful and beautiful novel."
Gabriela Cabez n C mara

A woman lives on a mountainside, between the mist and the forest. Her mission is to watch the borders and report any anomalies to the guard. Her journals record her spartan routine and memories of a childhood with a brutal mother and unrealized dreams of an education. In the background, there is the constant rumble from the quarry and armored trucks. One day, she finds a body in the yard; fearful of attracting attention, she and the guard decide to bury it. But another soon appears. And another, and another....

Tr as extraordinary talent shines in this unsettling and atmospheric novel, with neglectful mothers, violence and humanity's relationship to nature as its recurring themes.
