«A bomb to normality.» Noelia Ramírez, El Periódico
«From the Monegros desert to abandoned roads, industrial estates or brand new housing developments, María Bastarós unfolds an enveloping and disturbing universe that connects with our most primal fears, the reverse side of desire and the terror of the everyday.» Marta Ailouti, The Objective
«We find ourselves with one of the year's most piercing works in terms of narrative, especially if we arch our gaze and approach the uncomfortable, unpleasant and sometimes terrifying world - because it is anodyne, dry - that Bastarós proposes from the twist of our own contemporaneity.» XL Semanal
«An accurate shot to the marrow of normality. A perverse, disturbing and lucid look capable of making you see the heroine that hides in a beautiful field of poppies. Absolute devotion for María Bastarós.» Rosario Villajos
«A novel of characters and stories intertwined to explain a historical moment in the purest Bolaño style, but with the concision and pruning that Bolaño often lacked. Addictive, risky and structurally impeccable.» Aixa De La Cruz
