Description

A claustrophobic story of desire and small town unease in the vein of Dogville or Coetzee’s Disgrace. On the heels of a cryptic mistake, Nat arrives in the rural village of La Escapa.

She rents a small house from a negligent landlord, adopts a dog and begins to work on her first literary translation.

But nothing in La Escapa is easy: her dog is ill-tempered and skittish, and mutual misunderstandings with her neighbours simmer below the surface.

When conflict arises over repairs to her house, Nat receives an unusual offer – one that tests her sense of self and reveals her most unexpected desires.

As Nat tries to understand her decision, the community of La Escapa comes together in search of a scapegoat. Now a feature film, directed by Isabel Coixet. Selected as the ‘Best Book of 2020’ by El País, La Vanguardia, El Cultural and El Correo.

Shortlisted by El Mundo, Forbes, Elle, W Magazine and La Nueva España.
