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. 500 $a "First published as La perra in Colombia in 2017 by Literatura Random House."--Title page verso 546 $a In Dutch translated from the Spanish. 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 650 0 $a Women $z Colombia $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women $x Social conditions $y 21st century $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Motherhood $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Dogs $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Human-animal relationships $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Women $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176947 650 7 $a Dogs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00896265 650 7 $a Human-animal relationships. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963482 650 7 $a Motherhood. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01026907 650 7 $a Women. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176568 651 0 $a Colombia $v Fiction. 651 7 $a Colombia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205916 655 7 $a Novels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921742 655 7 $a Social problem fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01982507 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726481 655 7 $a Animal fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01982492 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Animal fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Social problem fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Rooy, Luc de, $e translator. 700 1 $a Jansen, Wim, $d 1952- $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117025233.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D67CFB6496FD11ED8856CD373CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
