Sinopsis
FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF FIRE WEATHER
The Jaguars Children will be read for a long time to come. It is a major social novel
PHILIPP MEYER, author of The Son
A large, ambitious novel
VANCOUVER SUN
Unforgettable . . . a bold, heartbreaking novel
TORONTO STAR
This is what novels can do - illuminate shadowed lives, enable us to contemplate our own depths of kindness, challenge our beliefs about fate
NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
Somewhere north of the US border, Héctor is trapped. The empty water truck, where he is hidden with fourteen other desperate people, has broken down. The exit is sealed and the coyotes seem to have vanished.
His friend César has lost consciousness but his phone still has a little battery. With it, Héctor calls and messages AnniMac - the only saved American number. He begs for help, explains their dangerous journey and gradually tells their story, from rural Oaxaca to the fractured city to the distant promise of a safe future in America.
As hours turn to days, Héctor waits for a response and fights to hold on to hope. Suspenseful and fiercely compassionate, The Jaguars Children is a cry to be heard and a defiant reminder of the human will to live.
