Thirst

[Across two different time periods, two women confront fear, loneliness, mortality, and a haunting yearning that will not let them rest.] In the nineteenth century, a vampire arrives from Europe to the coast of Buenos Aires, on the run from the Church. She must adapt, intermingle with humans, and, most importantly, be discreet. In present-day Buenos Aires, a woman finds herself at an impasse as she grapples with her mother’s terminal illness and her own relationship with motherhood. A breakout, genre-blurring novel from one of the most exciting new voices of Latin America’s feminist gothic.
