In this evocative collection, Suárez weaves together ten tales that delve deep into the complexities of family, exposing the raw, often painful underbelly of relationships. These stories navigate the murky waters of familial dysfunction, drawing readers into a whirlwind of nostalgia, unease, and a spectrum of raw emotions.From mothers weighed down by recklessness, fathers marked by absence, to young girls turning to the shadows to find a way out, and spinsters retreating from society's judgment into lonely existences - each tale is a poignant exploration of choices, consequences, and the human yearning for connection.
