Las orillas del aire
Karina Pacheco Medrano
NOVEL | 2017 | 252 pages
In 1940, a woman disappears in a lake while teaching her children how to swim. Her death leaves behind a halo of mystery and her memory is mixed with cruelty, myth, and the echoes of the world that surrounded her.
Many years later, a stone feline mutilated by PreHispanic site raiders and an unexpected discovery in a cemetery begin to unleash memories and stories that appeared to have been submerged. Through an archaeologist’s explorations in the jungle and the traces of the drowned woman, Las orillas del aire treads medular paths of Peruvian history throughout the last century.
Political activism, social crises, and the loss of innocence outline the stage of this novel, where protagonists must confront their ideals with reality, find their space in an country amidst change, and come to terms with the past.
