I had learned that from that darkness shapes were born. I tried to see them and not think about anything else, not even the pain coming from my stomach. Nothing, except a glow that I watched closely until it turned into two black eyes. And little by little, as if made by the night, I saw María’s face, her shoulders, the hair that came from the deepest darkness I had ever seen in my life.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2116\" data-end=\"2537\"\u003eWhen she was a child, Cometierra swallowed earth and saw in a vision that her father had beaten her mother to death. That was the first of many visions. Being born with a gift implies a responsibility toward others, and Cometierra’s gift makes her life doubly difficult: she lives in a neighborhood where violence, abandonment, and injustice are felt on every corner, and where the main victims are women.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2539\" data-end=\"2809\"\u003eIn the search for truth, the discovery of love, and the care among siblings, Cometierra embarks on a path as painful as it is luminous. Dolores Reyes has written a first novel that is lyrical, sweet, and brutal, narrated with a voice that moves from the very first page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2539\" data-end=\"2809\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alfaguara","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55302217630040,"sku":"LIB-CO-AL-79","price":18.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8464\/0856\/files\/cometierra-dolores-reyes-9643634.jpg?v=1761780104","url":"https:\/\/eu.plasticbooks.com\/en\/products\/cometierra-dolores-reyes","provider":"Plastic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
