I was thirteen. Being thirteen is like being in the middle
of nowhere. Which was accentuated by the fact that I was in
the middle of nowhere. In a house that wasn’t mine. In a
city that wasn’t mine, in a country that wasn’t mine, with a
one-man family that, in spite of the intersections and
intentions (all very good), wasn’t mine. When her mother dies, thirteen-year-old Vanja is left with
no family and no sense of who she is, where she belongs, and
what she should do. Determined to find her biological father
in order to fill the void that has so suddenly appeared in
her life, Vanja decides to leave Rio de Janeiro to live in
Colorado with her stepfather, a former guerrilla notorious
for his violent past. From there she goes in search of her
biological father, tracing her mother’s footsteps and
gradually discovering the truth about herself. Rendered in lyrical and passionate prose, Crow Blue is a
literary road trip through Brazil and America, and through
dark decades of familial and political history.
