And nothing is stranger, in this high rise apartment far from home, than the tenuous bonds of family that hold us together, or don't. The narrator works, zooms with her sister, makes plans for the future (a writing residency, a child), and tentatively probes her past, while subtle fissures open up around her, changing her life forever. As she says about her childhood home, \"Sometimes I get curious...but I don't ask, because the answer could come with information I'd rather not know.\"By turns tender and biting, this is Robayo's finest work yet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Charco Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/24\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781913867690\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 169\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.20w x 1.10d","brand":"Margarita Garc\u0026#237;a Robayo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43166155997365,"sku":"9781913867690","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_e460c7bc-88b8-491a-861c-99855e558a77.jpg?v=1696921480","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-delivery-9781913867690","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
