In line with Martínez-Arias’s research on migration patterns and the barriers migrants face in Latin America, this novel, the author’s third, tells the story of two adolescents who migrate to the outskirts of Lima and confront urban violence, poverty, and discrimination. Commenting on the work, which launched at the Lima International Book Fair, writer Marco Avilés noted that Martínez-Arias exposes facets of the city that the state and elites prefer to keep invisible. Literary critic Rubén Quiroz has stated that Martínez-Arias is “a great promise in contemporary Peruvian narrative.”
