Vilar Madruga Elaine
HarperCollins Publishers
Benedicta has given birth, over and over. But she will never be a mother. Benedicta lives with her mother, her sister and her many children on a hacienda surrounded by dense rainforest.
The jungle is a hungry god : it allows them to live safely away from a ruthless world of guerrillas and drug traffickers, but at a terrible price. Its voracity is never-ending, and those who live under its control must offer up their children in a sacrificial cycle powered by blood and madness.
One day Romina, a pregnant sex worker from the nearest town, emerges from the rainforest. Will she be the one to break the cycle?
