  • Overview

    Candelaria tiene doce años y vive con su excéntrica familia en Parruca, un mítico lugar perdido entre montañas. Su madre habla con las piedras, su hermanastro cultiva hongos alucinógenos y su padre, un artista que esculpe ballenas, los ha abandonado.

    Mientras la vegetación empieza a devorar la casa, los tres reciben a extraños personajes: una mujer experta en plantas venenosas que lleva más de un muerto a cuestas, un hombre que teme a los rayos y dispara contra las nubes que amenazan tormenta, un desahuciado que persigue su propia muerte y deja tras de sí un enigmático manuscrito... Candelaria tratará de que la acompañen en la búsqueda de su padre, y ese proceso le revelará la verdadera complejidad de la vida y le hará comprender que, por debajo de las apariencias, todo ser humano es en ocasiones vulnerable y débil.

    También su padre, también ella. Con ecos de la narrativa de Gabriel García Márquez, Juan Rulfo o Gioconda Belli, Donde cantan las ballenas pertenece a ese nuevo realismo, presente en las obras de Dolores Reyes, Karina Sainz Borgo o Mariana Enriquez, que nos revela una Latinoamérica que parece de otro tiempo y otro mundo... pero está en este.

    «La prosa es precisa, rica, eficaz, deslumbrante y está puesta al servicio de la imaginería de la novela, que es una de sus grandes virtudes. Donde cantan las ballenas tiene una medida exuberancia visual. [...] Jaramillo construye personajes sólidos y de trazo profundo.» -Luisgé Martín

    «Sara Jaramillo Klinkert, con su prosa rica y valiente, desteje los hilos del tiempo y el dolor para mostrarnos el alma humana.» -Pilar Quintana, Premio Alfaguara de novela 2021

    ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

    Candelaria is twelve years old and lives with her eccentric family in Parruca, a mythical place lost in the mountains. Her mother talks to stones, her stepbrother grows hallucinogenic mushrooms and her father, an artist who sculpts whales, has abandoned them.
     
    While the vegetation begins to devour the house, the three of them are visited by strange characters: a woman who’s an expert in poisonous plants who carries more than one dead person on her back, a man who fears lightning and shoots at the clouds that threaten a storm, a homeless man pursues his own death and leaves behind an enigmatic manuscript .. Candelaria will try to make them accompany  her search for her father, and this process will reveal the true complexity of life and will make her understand that, beneath appearances, every human being is vulnerable and weak at times.
     
    Also her father, also her. With echoes of the narrative of Gabriel García Márquez, Juan Rulfo or Gioconda Belli, Where the Whales Sing belongs to that new realism, present in the works of Dolores Reyes, Karina Sainz Borgo or Mariana Enriquez, which reveals a Latin America that seems to be from another time and another world... but exists in this one.
     
    “The prose is precise, rich, effective, dazzling and is at the service of the imagery of the novel, which is one of its great virtues. Where the Whales Sing has a measure of visual exuberance. [...] Jaramillo builds solid characters with great depth.” -Luisgé Martín
     
    "Sara Jaramillo Klinkert, with her rich and courageous prose, unravels the threads of time and pain to show us the human soul." -Pilar Quintana, Alfaguara Novel Prize 2021
