In this moving novel-in-verse, Mina has just uprooted her life in St. Kitts to start over in Orlando—a place of strange food, strange people, and a silence that stretches between her and the world.

Escrita durante a pandemia, a obra é uma coleção de textos poéticos sobre todas as impressões que ficam quando alguém vai embora – ainda que esse alguém seja você mesmo.

Un recorrido poético para reencontrarse con uno mismo y recordar que perderse forma parte del camino. Cuando empecé este viaje no sabía dónde acabaría, simplemente me senté en el tren, miré por la ventana y vi la vida pasar, parada tras parada. Mentiría si dijera que el recorrido fue fácil porque estuvo lleno de baches, parones, subidas y bajadas, encuentros y despedidas. Hubo momentos buenos, otros que no lo fueron tanto y alguno que fue simplemente terrible, tanto que incluso llegué a pensar que ese era mi destino. Seguramente tú también has pasado por momentos así.

Com o tempo, porém, os dias foram ficando cada vez mais longos e solitários. Era como se naquele lugar o amor tivesse perdido o equilíbrio e se tornado uma obrigação.
