Comments & Further Information

First edition trade (large sized) paperback with a full 1 to 9 number sequence indicating a first printing. This is the first novel of Mayra Montero to be translated into English. “In this richly evocative novel, impregnated with the eerie lore and loud colours of Haiti, two men, Victor, an American zoologist, and Thierry, a Haitian steeped in the spirits and fauna of his native land, become unlikely companions in a hunt for the grenouille du sang – the blood frog. As the small, rare creature, possibly the last of its species eludes its hunters Thierry and Victor unfold the tapestry of events that have brought them to their fateful encounter.” IN STOCK FOR IMMEDAITE DESPATCH
