ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A family tragedy in the form of comedy.

The return to the fiction of an award-winning author with an unmistakable voice.

"Owner of a mystery that she does not want to reveal, Luisa Castro is serene, warm, and intelligent."--Bel n Fortes, Barcelona Review

"Where was my horchata blood now?"

Bel n is sixteen years old and lives in a house of crazy people. Her father, very old and in a wheelchair, insists on starting to organize his enormous inheritance. Her brother seems to know things that everyone hides from her. There's also the problem that is her mother: who calls every now and then with bad coverage and does not visit the brothers since they were little, after she suffered an episode that ended in hospitalization. Bel n just wants everything to be normal and follow the advice she has heard since she was a child: "Horchata blood, darling. Whatever happens, you must be cold-blooded".

With the rhythm of a comedy and dramatic airs, Luisa Castro weaves a great novel about the breakup of a family and what we will never know about others: what happens behind closed doors.
