«En el bosque» is Katie Kitamura's novel, published by Editorial Sexto Piso in paperback (164 pages, in Spanish).
In an indeterminate colony, Tom has grown up on the family farm with his father and the servants, convinced that this order is natural and immovable. The arrival of Carine unleashes a fierce rivalry between father and son, while a speech against the colonizer and a volcanic eruption herald the collapse of the colonial and family world.
Translation by Jesús Gómez Gutiérrez. The novel was originally published as Gone to the Forest in 2012; this Spanish edition appeared in 2013.
For readers of literary and historical fiction interested in colonialism and family dynamics.
