ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

After La hija de la espa ola / It Would Be Night in Caracas, comes the new revelation in Latin American literature: an amazing debut novel based on real life events.

"The most beautiful novel of the year. ...] Not suitable for those who conceal, repress, or misrepresent their feelings. In three words, a beautiful text." -- Esteban Carlos Mej a, El Espectador

When I was eleven years old, a hit-man killed my father. I was just a girl who could never have imagined that something like that could happen. But it happened. I still find it hard to believe that just thirty-five grams of steel and one gram of gunpowder could have put an end to a family.

When H ctor Abad Faciolince, author of El olvido que seremos / Oblivion: A Memoir, read this debut novel, he decided to publish it immediately; very soon after Lumen would also join in his enthusiasm for the text. After achieving great success in Colombia and while publishers in France prepare its French translation, How I Killed My Father reaches readers on both sides of the Atlantic as one of the recent literary revelations.
