Blood of the Dawn - by Claudia Salazar Jiménez (Paperback)

Blood of the Dawn is a powerful and thought-provoking novel that delves into Peru's recent traumatic history through the eyes of three women.

This debut novel by Peruvian author Claudia Salazar Jiménez is a must-read for anyone interested in political violence, desire, and pain.

The book rewrites the conflict through the voice of women, activating memory through a mixture of politics, desire, and pain in a lucid and brutal prose.

With its bold and necessary storyline, Blood of the Dawn refuses to let the stories of the victims of "the time of fear" get away.

The violence that permeated Peru in the 1980s and 1990s is unspeakable, but Salazar Jiménez's prose cuts through the silence and sheds light on the effects of political insurgency on the people of Peru.

Don't miss out on this beautiful, horrifying work of art that won the 2014 Americas Narrative Prize.
