Yuri Herrera, a Mexican writer, packs a dense and colourful world, woven into a fast-paced narrative adventure. It is a powerful and poignant depiction of a complicated world-in-becoming whose bloody and fertile veins run through the US-Mexican border.
In this short novel, Makina, a young Mexican woman, is ordered by her mother to sneak across the US border in search of her brother, who has disappeared. To do so, she seeks the help of a local criminal gang, who agree to help her if she takes on a mission for them, too. In Makina, Herrera has created a remarkable and endearing character: self-assured, plucky, confident, capable of handling herself in a crisis yet still eminently human and full of fears and desires of her own.
Herrera casts bare the essence of the border zone where the action takes place. It's more than just a border. In a hundred pages he succeeds in portraying this world in greater depth and complexity.
