The house is much more than a prison: it is a microcosm where each of the individuals that compose it, from the governor of prison to his wife, passing through prisoners and guards, accept their fate with resignation. Religion as a salvation, the prohibited cult that all profess a vengeful goddess who intends to destroy the world, and the plague, which will kill rich and poor people equally, unites these disparate characters from a recondite corner of the world. In this virtuous coral novel, the author immerses us masterfully into a narrative prison, breaking with the way of narrating classical and consecrated how one of the most unique voices of the current Latin American narrative.
