Cometierra es un libro cortito y sorprendentemente ágil, que te atrapa enseguida hasta que, sin darte cuenta, llevas 50 páginas y tienes que parar porque tu avión ya está tocando tierra. La historia es desgarradora y sucia, te hace sacudir la cabeza y decir «joder» para tí misma. Retrata una sociedad y un espacio en los que la violencia lo impregna todo y la muerte no es una perspectiva lejana e incómoda sino concreta y constante. La muerte es compañera, sobre todo para Cometierra, que la ve y saborea.
Es también un libro hermoso sobre la resiliencia. Cometierra experimenta los horrores de otros con los cinco sentidos por la mañana y por la noche juega a la Play, sale a bailar, se emociona ante la perspectiva de comer lo que le gusta, hace regalos.
Los capítulos finales me parecieron más flojos que el resto del libro, pero no me han impedido disfrutar muchísimo esta novelita debut que sin duda anuncia a una autora de grandísimo talento.

The mysticism inherent in Eartheater's gift & how she make-use of it was gripping from the start. But there were certain sense of apathy, or maybe best described as weariness, imbued within Eartheater's responses to the attrocities she'd witnessed.
Eartheater may be short, but it packed a heartbreaking punch with a twist of mystique. It was a quick & fascinating read. Highly recommended for a fan of mystery & the supernatural

This kind of magical ability seems to speak directly to the social issues in modern Argentina, which include high rates of missing persons, particularly women. To be able to determine their fate based on the consumption of earth is a beautiful and powerful image.
This novel follows several smaller stories wherein the protagonist helps others, while working through her first romantic and sexual relationship, as well as fitting in time to grieve. This novel emphasizes that survival often supersedes the privilege of sorrow, and that these young people must carry on no matter what, even if that means the protagonist must physically harm herself by eating dirt in order to help others.
