Overview

An imaginative extension of contemporary Latin American fiction, this graphic novel touches on universal themes—death, friendship, love, and others—from a uniquely feminine perspective. On her surreal adventures, the protagonist encounters a ghost in the house, time travel, snow that bears a striking resemblance to lemon ice cream, and even a meeting with Death. Some panels include dialogue, while others forgo it for a purely visual impact. In either case, the witty and tender narrative injects magic and innocence into a world of danger and wonder, and encourages readers to overcome adversity with humor and a positive frame of mind.

Una extensión imaginativa de la narrativa latinoamericana contemporánea, esta novela gráfica abarca temas universales—la muerte, la amistad, el amor y otros—desde una perspectiva singularmente femenina. En sus aventuras surrealistas, la protagonista se encuentra con un fantasma en la casa, un viaje en el tiempo, nieve que tiene una apariencia muy parecida a la del helado de limón y hasta a la Muerte. Algunas de las viñetas incluyen diálogo, otras lo renuncian a favor de un impacto puramente visual. En ambos casos, la narrativa ingeniosa y tierna introduce la magia e inocencia en un mundo de peligro y maravillas y anima al lector a superar la adversidad con humor y de buen talante.
