We Are Green and Trembling

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

The new novel from the International Booker-shortlisted author of The Adventures of China Iron: a sumptuous and surreal historical reimagining of one of South America's best-known trans men, Antonio de Erauso

From deep in the wilds of the New World, Antonio de Erauso writes a letter to his aunt, the prioress of the convent he escaped as a young girl. Since leaving his past behind, he's become Antonio, conquistador. Now, hiding in the jungle and hounded by the army he deserted, Antonio is caring for two Guarani girls he rescued from enslavement. But the New World has one more metamorphosis in store, which might save them all from extinction.

Tender and surreal, We Are Green and Trembling conveys glimmers of hope for the future within the brutal colonial history of Latin America, finding in the rainforest a magical space for transformation.
