The Bitch

Colombia`s Pacific coast, where everyday life entails warding off the brutal forces of nature. 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 or the many meanings of motherhood and love.
