“So many days and nights lying awake, imagining the arrival of the enemy, and then again comes the bureaucracy. How meaningless it all is.”
Eliza needs to leave her lovesick father in a nursing home, but he refuses. They take a train south in search of an elusive half-sister and the father’s dream of pacifying his disconnected family. On their journey, they come across a group heading in the same direction to recover their ancestral land. They’ll soon come to realize that the past unites them.
Father and daughter join their quest filled with hallucinatory characters and situations, one that will lead them to uncertainty and contradictions.With dazzling writing where images and objects often take the spotlight, this novel by Cynthia Rimsky unravels worlds and abysses where imagination, laughter, and curiosity set in motion and unforgettable adventure.

“A small gem of Chilean literature.”
“Seeing: this could be the verb that describes Rimsky’s poetics and that, without a doubt, is also the driving force behind Yomurí (2022), an extraordinary novel. Complex, funny, and crazy, with both edginess and tenderness, with endearing characters and absolute incorrectness.”
