This World Does Not Belong to Us
Natalia García Freire
Secrets and revenge converge in this chilling tale from a breakout new Latin American voice
Many
years have passed since Lucas was expelled from his childhood home by
Felisberto and Eloy, the two men who arrived uninvited and slowly,
insidiously, made it their own. Now Lucas is back, fully grown and
intent on claiming his rightful inheritance.
But he is not
interested in the house as it once was, in his mother's lovingly planted
flowerbeds - now conquered by weeds - nor in the lavish portraits
covering every wall. Lucas belongs to a darker world, one crawling with
the only creatures he really trusts: insects. As the house crumbles
before his eyes, Lucas turns to the allies of his underground kingdom to
help him take revenge.
Weaving together past and present like a spider's web,This World Does Not Belong to Usis a spine-tingling story of human greed, from a masterful new literary voice.
