Plot summary
[edit]Miranda, a young Lima architect, discovers that the rare blood type of her long-absent father could save her gravely ill brother and therefore sets out across southern Peru to find him.[1] Travelling with hydraulic engineer Saúl, she crosses drought-stricken Andean landscapes, observing rituals that fuse Catholic processions with pre-Hispanic water ceremonies while confronting memories of political violence that fractured her family.[1]
