Summary
"Pilar, Eva y Antonio Ángel son últimos herederos de La Oculta, una antigua finca familiar escondida en las montañas de Colombia. En ese deslumbrante paisaje han pasado los momnetos más felices de su vida, pero han tenido que enfrentarse también al asedio de la violencia y el terror, al desasosiego y a la huida. A través de las voces de los tres hermanos, Héctor Abad Faciolince ilumina en esta novela íntima y transgresora las vicisitudes de una familia y un pueblo, así como las circunstancias en las que está por perderse el paraíso sobre el que construyeron sus realidades y sus sueños"--, Back cover"Pilar, Eva, and Antonio Ángel are the last heirs of La Oculta, a farm hidden in the mountains of Colombia. The land has survived several generations. It is the landscape of their happiest memories but it is also where they have had to face the siege of violence and terror, restlessness and flight. In The Farm, Héctor Abad illuminates the vicissitudes of a family and of a people, as well as of the voices of these three siblings, recounting their loves, fears, desires, and hopes, all against a dazzling backdrop. We enter their lives at the moment when they are about to lose the paradise on which they built their dreams and their reality"--, Provided by publisher of English-language edition
