Overview

'Dazzling' Fernanda Melchor 'A brilliant debut' Vogue 'Bright and brimming with sisterhood. Overwhelmingly beautiful' El Cultural A mother and her child embark on a canoe trip down the mighty Atrato River, deep in the thick Colombian jungle. They eat ripe mango and fresh fish, bathe in rainwater, meet curious passers-by. But uncertainties abound. As the small boat proceeds along the water, the mother's anxiety grows, and, over time, she reveals the truth about how the little one really came into her life one hot morning. A slim, visceral novel, This Wound Full of Fish offers a journey not only through the murky waters of the river, but through a lush and brutal human life.
