Ten-year-old Jana recounts her relationship with her parents and six brothers, her days at school, her friends, and finally, her mother's death. This sad event clearly marks the end of her childhood and, at the story's close, the "sun of the deer", the red light at the end of the day, becomes the eternal symbol of her mother.
Gloria Cecilia logró mezclar la realidad social de un país, el abismo entre clases, la inocencia infantil y juegos y relatos cómicos en un solo libro, increíble historia de resiliencia y la crudeza a muchos niños les toca y marca incluso antes de nacer.
