Fernanda Trías
Winner of the Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz Prize
A woman lives alone on the slope of a mist-covered mountain, hired by a man she has never seen to patrol the boundary between the cloud forest and the quarry that is slowly devouring it. In her notebooks, she records her solitary days, her fierce desires, the language of her landscape, and the violence that shaped her childhood.
One day, a body appears in her yard. And then another, and another. As the dead repeat their silent message, the woman finds in the act of tending to their remains an answer that escaped her among the living, and she begins to form an intimate bond with the mountain that shelters her, mirrors her, and demands to be heard.
At once earthy and visionary, tender and ferocious, The Mountain Woman is a novel about the violences women inherit and the forms of life that persist in the ruins. In prose of rare intensity, Fernanda Trías gives voice to a world beyond the human, where care can be an act of rebellion and language must be broken open to tell the story of the harm we do to ourselves, others, and the world we love.
