Overview

Winner of the 2016 Best Translated Book Award

Featured in The Guardian's 100 Best Books of the 21st Century

Signs Preceding the End of the World is one of the most arresting novels published in Spanish in the last ten years. Yuri Herrera does not simply write about the border between Mexico and the United States and those who cross it. He explores the crossings and translations people make in their minds and language as they move from one country to another, especially when there's no going back.

Traversing this lonely territory is Makina, a young woman who knows only too well how to survive in a violent, macho world. Leaving behind her life in Mexico to search for her brother, she is smuggled into the USA carrying a pair of secret messages - one from her mother and one from the Mexican underworld.


(P)2020 Hodder & Stoughton Limited, Translation (c) Lisa Dillman 2015

Editorial Reviews

The New York Times - John Williams

In this short, suspenseful book, Mr. Herrera relates Makina's perilous and sometimes dreamlike journey and makes room for several dramatic incidents and minor characters who make a lasting impression.

Publishers Weekly

"True Blue is heartbreaking at times but the romance excels and makes this a one-of-a kind book, you don't want to pass up. If you enjoy strong characters, a story you can lose yourself in, and strong family devotion, this is a wonderful story to add to your to-read list." --Harlequin Junkie, 5 Star Top Pick

"Ms. Foster, went for the gut with Truman and Gemma...Tru Blue is more than a romance, it is a story of love, a story of hope and a story of courage. 10 + stars." --Night Owl Reviews

"Sexy and Heartbreaking....I simply adored this beautifully written romance." --Tasty Book Tours
