These eight short stories and novella travel from Panama’s dusty city streets to its humid beaches to create an affecting portrait of a country in transition. They illustrate family bonds and
generational conflicts, youthful infatuation and genuine passion.
Tender, ambitious, bold, and unflinching, they reveal a fresh, exciting, and lavishly talented voice in American literature.

Editorial Reviews
“These stories, told in a direct and sparse style, are truly unforgettable…I could not put aside this book.” —Isabel Allende, New York Times bestselling author
“Luminous…Each story is full of subtle surprises and unexpected twists…Cristina Henríquez creates a vivid portrait of Panama in transition.” —San Francisco Chronicle
“Eight stories and a novella set in Panama introduce a dazzling new talent. Henríquez’s voice is artfully simple and unembellished, soft yet quietly piercing.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“Henríquez creates a vision of Panama that is at once sweepingly realistic and subtly hallucinogenic…Losses great and small are common currency, and yet these fluid stories abound in beauty, irony, and magic…Henríquez is an immensely gifted young writer who evokes the spirit of a struggling land and the people who love it beyond reason.” —Booklist (starred review)
