Książka w języku angielskim. Six seconds. A man falling. An image that haunts her forever. Returning to the Mexico of their childhood, Diego’s sister is plagued with questions, beset with crippling grief and guilt. As she struggles to get her head and her heart around her brother’s death, she sees the life they shared anew. Here she tells their story: that of the poor, the exploited, the outsider far from home, with quiet power and vibrant prose. As she does so, she asks herself how well she really knew the boy she tried so hard to raise. And what, in the end, makes a life worth living? Rippled through with flashes of dark humour, "Eating ashes" is a heartbreaking examination of home, of loneliness and belonging, separation and loss, from a critically acclaimed Latin American novelist.
