In search of his missing granddaughter Rosaura, an old man named JeremiÌas Andrade arrives in a town strewn with dead mice and overflowing with mist and fog. The owner of a rotten hotel and the dwarf who always accompanies her; children who play with sinister soccer balls and observe life from the ruined rooftops; an albino named Bonifacio who appears and disappears like a ghost; the cart driver whose only task is to pick up the mice piling up night after night; the charitable nuns in a nearby convent - these are the characters that converge in a vigil turned nightmare. JeremiÌas's wanderings reveal a haunting truth, and a possibility of reunion in a place where all is lost, a forever-gaping abyss"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Grandfathers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Granddaughters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Missing children $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Grandparent and child $v Fiction. 700 1 $a McLean, Anne, $d 1962- $e translator. 700 1 $a Meadowcroft, Victor, $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240502013012.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=987BAA6CF17F11EE82DF7F7D41ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
