Llegaron!/ They Arrived

A ocho kilometros de Medellin, a mitad de camino entre Envigado y Sabaneta y a mano izquierda yendo (o derecha viniendo), entre naranjos, mangos y limoneros en un altico se alzaba Santa Anita: alegre, limpia, hermosa.
Desde la carretera la veiamos y desde su corredor delantero nos veian: " Ahi vienen, ahi vienen ," decian el par de viejas aterradas. "Si, ahi vamos, y que ."- En un Fordcito que alcazaba los setenta kilometros por hora en plano, el narrador de este libro y sus hermanos viajan a la finca de la abuela en los dias azules de la infancia. Dias que recordados desde el presente, en el que el narrador tiene la edad de su abuela entonces, se llenan de colores mas oscuros. Una novela inolvidable sobre la infancia y el paso del tiempo.
