El bosque de tu nombre
Karina Pacheco Medrano
NOVEL | 2013/2019 | 394 pages
While going through a personal crisis, a doctor rooted in London named Ariel rereads one of his old childhood notebooks. Amidst drawings and doodles, he discovers an unsettling text: his father, a Guatemalan exile who has just died, confesses his participation in a settlement from four decades ago concerning the murder of a woman he has never heard about.
In the spotlight of events as remote as they are ignored, Ariel will confront the dark paths of his own family history and the political violence that has shaken Guatemala throughout the past century.
Published for the first time in 2013, El bosque de tu nombre proposes a path that is at once an immersion into the fog and a trip to the seed of our fragmented nations, in order to understand the staggering ambiguity of the human condition.

“El bosque de tu nombre is a novel about courage, an adventure novel in the very sense of the word: a sum of strange events, of coincidences, a negotiation with uncertain results. Its plot is woven with the individual histories of characters who are faced with a state that is corrupt and authoritarian to its core, stories that are structured with intelligence and talent within a single central tale that is tense, complex, and leaves us breathless until the last chapter (...) It’s rare to come across a novel of such quality and maturity, and we can say without a doubt that Karina Pacheco is the Peruvian author of the moment.”
