En medio de ninguna parte
(Book)

Translation of: In the heart of the country.

En una remota granja de Sudáfrica, Magda sufre en silencio la dureza del desierto y la tiranía de un padre que la condenó desde el momento en que nació mujer.

On a remote farm in South Africa, the protagonist of [this] novel watches the life from which she has been excluded. Ignored by her callous father, scorned and feared by his servants, she is a bitterly intelligent woman whose outward meekness disguises a desperate resolve to not become "one of the forgotten ones in history." When her father takes and African mistress, that resolve precipitates an act of vengeance that suggests a chemical reaction between the colonizer and the colonized - and between European yearnings and the vastness and solitude of Africa.
