A fast read, and while I read it, I did find it compelling, but the ending is totally dissatisfying and very odd. Maybe I missed something crucial, however I felt there was such a build-up and such tension, I was expecting some great revelation at the end. A talented writer (and translator), but perhaps better suited to the short story, or even poetry. Her language is moving and lyrical, but the story feels incomplete to me.

It's maybe because this novel is about a problem that affects Argentina and some other agricultural countries. The cause of death and sickness is the toxicity of fertilizers that are mainly used in soy plantations which is the main source of income of our country. It's just that. I think the point is well made and that's why the end is not revealing at all.

The revelation at the end is that the person who was talking to Amanda since the beginning of the novel was actually her own daughter, Nina.
I’m a Karen. I wanted ro reply to Tromboy that 🤯🤯🤯
I interpreted the ending as saying that Nina had been transferred to David’s body by the healer in the green house. That’s why David got into the car at the end to try to leave with Nina’s father (the narrator’s husband). David got into the back seat and crossed his legs the way Nina always did. The husband was telling David’s father that Nina was recovering in the hospital m but something wasn’t right about her�
