An essential 20th-century Catalan novel that depicts the harsh reality of European refugees fleeing the war in 1940 and arriving in Santo Domingo. Trapped between poverty in the capital and the harsh conditions of agricultural colonies in the jungle, they face a regime that seeks to 'whiten' the population. Through the story of three characters, Vicenç Riera Llorca offers a direct and human account of exile, reversing historical roles to remind us that, at one point, 'we' were the unwanted. Written with the precision of a filmmaker, it captures the essence of survival and the struggle to rebuild a life in foreign lands.
