Literatura Random House."--Title page verso
520 "In Colombia's brutal jungle, childless Damaris develops
an intense and ultimately doomed relationship with an
orphaned puppy. Colombia's Pacific coast, where everyday
life entails warding off the brutal forces of nature. In
this constant struggle, nothing is taken for granted.
Damaris lives with her fisherman husband in a shack on a
bluff overlooking the sea. Childless and at that age 'when
women dry up', as her uncle puts it, she is eager to adopt
an orphaned puppy. But this act may bring more than just
affection into her home. The Bitch is written in a prose
as terse as the villagers, with storms--both
meteorological and emotional--lurking around each corner.
Beauty and dread live side by side in this poignant
exploration of the many meanings of motherhood and love."-
