More about the book

Exploring the complexities of colonialism, a Peruvian journalist delves into her family's intertwined history with both colonizers and the colonized. Alone in a Paris museum, she confronts the legacy of her great-great-grandfather, an Austrian explorer who looted pre-Columbian artifacts from her homeland. As she navigates her father's infidelity and her own polyamorous relationships, she unpacks themes of abandonment, jealousy, and racism, ultimately seeking to reconcile her personal struggles with the broader historical wounds of her ancestry.
