Her mother talks to stones, her stepbrother grows hallucinogenic mushrooms and her father, an artist who sculpts whales, has abandoned them. While the vegetation begins to devour the house, the three of them are visited by strange characters: a woman who's an expert in poisonous plants who carries more than one dead person on her back, a man who fears lightning and shoots at the clouds that threaten a storm, a homeless man pursues his own death and leaves behind an enigmatic manuscript .. Candelaria will try to make them accompany her search for her father, and this process will reveal the true complexity of life and will make her understand that, beneath appearances, every human being is vulnerable and weak at times. Also her father, also her. With echoes of the narrative of Gabriel Garc\u00eda M\u00e1rquez, Juan Rulfo or Gioconda Belli, Where the Whales Sing belongs to that new realism, present in the works of Dolores Reyes, Karina Sainz Borgo or Mariana Enriquez, which reveals a Latin America that seems to be from another time and another world... but exists in this one. \"The prose is precise, rich, effective, dazzling and is at the service of the imagery of the novel, which is one of its great virtues. Where the Whales Sing has a measure of visual exuberance. [...] Jaramillo builds solid characters with great depth.\" -Luisg\u00e9 Mart\u00edn \"Sara Jaramillo Klinkert, with her rich and courageous prose, unravels the threads of time and pain to show us the human soul.\" -Pilar Quintana, Alfaguara Novel Prize 2021","image":"https:\/\/images.thalia.media\/00\/-\/ed4e4c971a764e81890741d9645fa584\/donde-cantan-las-ballenas-where-the-whales-sing-taschenbuch-sara-jaramillo-klinkert-spanisch.jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.vergleiche.ch\/product\/donde-cantan-las-ballenas-where-the-whales-sing\/","min_price":41.9,"low_price_merchant_id":2294,"deeplink":"https:\/\/www.awin1.com\/pclick.php?p=44738267158&a=401125&m=13971&pref1=9788426409232","ean":9788426409232,"brand":"Lumen"}
