A Young Swallowman, Laura Santos

Translated by: William Gregory

Near the Rio Negro valley, a truck overturns, leaving its entire load of cows on the road. Some of the locals approach the truck to start a brutal slaughter between dead and alive animals. Belinda and Mora, two teenagers, plan a secret plot to save a calf from this battle, but suddenly Mora disappears. From that moment on, Belinda, her friend, will take the reins of a long search to find her, having to face a second, even darker local task: What practices are slipping into a territory that tortures, murders, silences and disappears women, with history and institutions on its side?
