e una belleza desgarradora, Karina Sosa nos ofrece un testimonio a la vez doloroso y privilegiado de uno de los movimientos sociales que han delineado el rostro del México contemporáneo. -Fernanda Melchor

Una hija descubre la grieta en su familia: sus padres están separados y la casa en la que crecen ella y sus hermanos se va poblando de recuerdos. En junio de 2006, el padre de Karina --la protagonista de esta historia-- encabeza una lucha popular para que el gobierno de Oaxaca caiga y se haga justicia. Una lucha que trae consigo el estigma de la cárcel. Una lucha que deja una ciudad en llamas. A la par de lidiar con el abandono paterno y la persecución social, Karina intenta descubrir quién ha sido y quién es ahora como mujer. Traspasa las barricadas de la memoria para llegar a su pasado, a esa infancia inestable y dolorosa: la zona oscura de la que emerge la alargada sombra de un padre totémico.

En esta, su segunda novela, Karina Sosa amplifica su talento estilístico y nos regala una historia profunda, nostálgica, herida. Un libro donde somete --con valentía-- palabras como amor y libertad.

Orfandad nos cuestiona: Se puede escarbar hondo y salir ileso? Y nos responde: De ninguna manera.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"With her intimate narrative of breathtaking beauty, Karina Sosa delivers a painful and all the while privileged testimony of one of the social movements that outlined the face of contemporary Mexico." --Fernanda Melchor

A daughter finds a rift in her family: her parents are separated and the house where she and her siblings are growing up is becoming increasingly populated by memories. In June 2006, the father of Karina--the protagonist of this story--leads a social struggle to topple Oaxaca's government and seek justice. A battle that brings along the stigma of prison. A fight that leaves the city burning. While dealing with her father's abandonment and social persecution, Karina tries to figure out who she has been and who she is now as a woman. She pushes the roadblocks in her memory to reach the past, her unstable and sorrowful childhood: the dark zone from which the long shadow of a totemic father emerges.

In this, her second novel, Karina Sosa amplifies her stylistic talent and gives us a deep, nostalgic, hurt story. A book where she courageously subdues words such as love and freedom.

Orphaned asks: Can you dig deep and come out unharmed? And it answers: No way.
