All That Dies In April

The first volume of the Read the World A to Z series takes you to Argentina with an ancestral tale rooted in a long Latin American history of rural displacement by Mariana Travacio, one of Argentina's most celebrated authors. Set in a stark landscape of cliffs and precipices high above the Argentine pampas, Mariana Travacio's All That Dies in April follows the members of one small family as each makes a solitary journey out of their treacherous mountain home in search of a better life.
