In Dolores Reyes' debut novel Eartheater, a young woman from Argentina's slums discovers she can uncover the fates of the missing and dead by consuming earth from their last known locations. Rather than sensationalizing this supernatural element, Reyes weaves a profound meditation on femicide and poverty, using her protagonist's gift to illuminate a community fractured by violence, where survival itself becomes an act of defiance.

The novel's meandering style and ambiguous ending mirror its protagonist's fragmented reality, while the translation preserves the cultural depth of Reyes' original prose. Through its unconventional approach, Eartheater delivers a haunting story of resilience and loss that transcends the boundaries of traditional literary fiction.
