Ferrada straddles the line between YA and plain old A Fiction here, putting the narrative in the hands of a 7-year-old while ostensibly writing for adults. It all only sort of works for me, feeling simultaneously too mature for the perspective the novel is trying to speak from, while also lacking in the complexity of detail that I would usually seek out in writing for adults. I can see why some would be drawn to this, but it's not for me, ultimately.

Una linda historia sobre la relación de una hija con su padre que trabaja como vendedor viajero en los años de la dictadura militar.
Me encantó cómo la autora logró que una parte de la historia ocurriera “por delante” (muy inocente, narrada por una niña) y que otra parte ocurriera “por detrás” de la historia principal, donde se deja ver el contexto político, estando finalmente todo conectado.
