This is where Mildred was born, and where everything she had  her animals, her home, her lands  was taken from her after her mother's death. Years later, a series of strange events, disappearances, and outbursts of collective delirium will force its residents to reckon with the legend of old Mildred. Once again, they will feel the shadow of death that has hung over the town ever since she was wronged. The voices of nine characters  Mildred, Ezequiel, Agustina, Manzi, Carmen, Vctor, Baltasar, Hermosina, and Filatelio  tell us of the past and present of that doomed place and Mildred's fate. Natalia Garca Freire's vivid language blurs the lines between dreams and reality and transports the reader to the hypnotic Andean universe of Ecuador.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46836311785630,"sku":"ADS-9781642861518","price":29.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781642861518.jpg?v=1778737688","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781642861518","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
