It was an afternoon at the beginning of that summer . . . Marga is about to turn thirteen. Whiling away muggy afternoons in the small fisherman's town of Paso Chico, she watches her favourite soap on TV and waits for something, anything, to happen. Almost like an apparition, Recio arrives: disrupting the silence of siesta and revealing the strange, twisted dynamics of the town's inhabitants. As a cargo ship waits on the viscous river of this hot, humid town, a sea of mud and secrets is unleashed, love and violence colliding as generational traumas and age-old superstitions come to the fore. Haunting and wry, Eugenia Ladra's debut is an elemental fever dream of burning desire and coming of age.
Eugenia Ladra (1992, Montevideo) holds a degree in Communication and a master's degree in Creative Writing. Carnada ('Bait'), her debut, was a finalist for the IESS Prize in Italy and has been published in Uruguay, Argentina, Bolivia, Spain, and Italy. In 2025, she received the Bartolomé Hidalgo Prize in the Revelation in Fiction category and an honourable mention in the Literature Prize.
