Summary/Review:
This weird and creepy horror novella set in a resort town in Argentina. It’s narrated in a conversation between Amanda, the novel’s protagonist who slowly uncovers dark secrets from a boy named David. The book doubles as an environmental fable as the children of the town, starting with David, are poisoned by a toxin that spreads through the community, including Amanda and her daughter Nina. The sparse novel serves as an attempt to unravel the source of the problem.
