The first book to appear in English by one of the very most talked-about and critically acclaimed freelance writers of new Mexican fiction. From a psychoanalyst's sofa, the narrator appears back on her bizarre child years - where she was created with an abnormality in her eye into a family intent on fixing it. In a world without the time and space for innocence, the narrator intimately recalls her younger home - a fierce and discerning young lady available to life's pleasures and keen to its ruthless cycle of tragedy. With organic language and a brilliant love of life, both sensitive and unafraid, Nettel strings together hard-won, unwieldy thoughts - taking us from Mexico City to Aix-en-Provence, France, then back home again - to make a portrait of the artist as a girl. Within this novel, Nettel's artwork of storytelling transforms experience into creativity and a fresh startling notion of reality.
