ovela de Pilar Quintana, reconocida con el Premio Biblioteca de Narrativa Colombiana, finalista del National Book Award y traducida a más de veinte idiomas

La perra es una novela sobre el amor de las madres, la traición, la lealtad, la culpa y la soledad de las relaciones humanas.

En un pequeño pueblo del Pacífico donde confluyen la belleza y la violencia de la región y conviven, separados, la riqueza y la pobreza, los blancos y los negros, tiene lugar la historia de Damaris.

Damaris, una negra del Pacífico ya en la madurez, lleva muchos años viviendo con Rogelio. Su turbulenta relación ha estado marcada por la búsqueda infructuosa de un hijo: prueban de todo, y aun así Damaris no consigue quedarse embarazada. Perdida toda esperanza, Damaris encuentra una nueva ilusión cuando se le presenta la oportunidad de adoptar una perra. Esta nueva e intensa relación con el animal será para Damaris la experiencia que la obligará a reflexionar sobre el instinto y la maternidad.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The accomplished novel by Pilar Quintana has arrived to Alfaguara, winner of the Biblioteca de Narrativa Colombiana Prize, a National Book Award finalist, and translated in more than twenty languages.

In Colombia's brutal jungle, childless Damaris develops an intense and ultimately doomed relationship with an orphaned puppy.

Colombia's Pacific coast, where everyday life entails warding off the brutal forces of nature. In this constant struggle, nothing is taken for granted. Damaris lives with her fisherman husband in a shack on a bluff overlooking the sea. Childless and at that age "when women dry up," as her uncle puts it, she is eager to adopt an orphaned puppy. But this act may bring more than just affection into her home. The Bitch is written in a prose as terse as the villagers, with storms―both meteorological and emotional―lurking around each corner. Beauty and dread live side by side in this poignant exploration of the many meanings of motherhood and love.
