Summary:
"Marina y Melina, madre e hija, son las protagonistas de esta novela que aborda desde disintos ángulos el drama de las adopciones irregulares en Chile. Melina nace un día lluvioso de 1993 y crece en un lugar del sur llamado Pueblo de Piedra; accedemos a los caminos que la llevan a la vida adulta, la relación con su nueva madre, y cómo construyen un vínculo cruzado por preguntas, sospechas, contención y cuestionamientos sobre el origen y la identidad. 'El arrepentimiento duraba poco. Se terminaba cuando volvía a cosa con Meli en brazos bajo el aterdecer y el cielo era el papel de regalo más lindo del mundo.' Con una perspectiva descarnada e íntima, nos asomamos también a otros testimonios: un material de archivo compuesto por recortes de prensa y expedientes llenos de dudas, presunciones, 'recuerdos inciertos como el material de los sueños. O de las pesadillas'." -- Back cover.
"Marina and Melina, mother and daughter, are the protagonists of this novel that explores, from different angles, the drama of irregular adoptions in Chile. Melina is born on a rainy day in 1993 and grows up in a town in southern Chile called Pueblo de Piedra; we follow the paths that lead her to adulthood, her relationship with her new mother, and how they build a bond marked by questions, suspicions, restraint, and doubts about origin and identity. 'The regret didn't last long. It ended when she returned home with Meli in her arms at dusk, and the sky was the most beautiful wrapping paper in the world.' With a raw and intimate perspective, we also glimpse other testimonies: archival material composed of newspaper clippings and files full of doubts, assumptions, and 'uncertain memories, like the stuff of dreams. Or nightmares'." -- Back cover, cataloger's translation.
