Lina Meruane nos expone a los sentidos materiales y metafóricos de esta palabra a través de una multitud de madres e hijas insaciables, de hermanas incisivas, de amigas y amantes afiladas así como de hombres salvajes y animales cuya hambre alimenta el amor y el odio, la miseria y el castigo, el resentimiento, el perdón. Un universo obsesivo por el que discurren objetos que cobran vida, cuerpos que la pierden, que se mutilan y se desgajan.
