About This Book
Luisa, a seventeen-year-old Mexico City girl, runs away with an older boy to the Oaxacan coast in 1987, where she drifts through sleepy beach towns, encounters a troupe of Ukrainian dwarfs, and wanders the margins of her own life. A short, dreamy, precisely observed novel about adolescent freedom and the pull of the sea. Winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction.
