The moving story of a close-knit Colombian family, given in precise and atmospheric prose, from the author of acclaimed memoir "Oblivion".
When the Angel family's beloved home in the Antioquian wilderness falls into danger, they manage to defend it against the guerrillas and, later, the paramilitaries but at a high price. After their parents' death, Pilar, Eva and Too have to decide the fate of their father's legacy. While Pilar and Tono want to keep La Oculta, Eva, who experienced something terrible at the old farm house, is determined to sell. As the siblings each struggle with their own problems, their inner conflicts threaten to tear apart not only their home but also their family.
