All That Dies in April is a roadless road novel told in short chapters like clockwork from 3 different perspectives.

A Hay Festival Book Club selection, this is a suspenseful ancestral tale rooted in a Latin American history of rural displacement and perpetual inequality.

Perks of being a bookseller: sales reps/publishers supplying you w/ amazing books in translation that'll probably destroy you emotionally, but you are 💯 here for it.
