My Mother's Funeral (Memoir)
“Páramo paints a portrait of two women—mother and daughter—in a volatile relationship that, in the end, is shaped by the strong bond of love between them. Set against a backdrop of Bogotá street violence and Medellín drug lords, My Mother’s Funeral is a big book in which the personal lives of the beautiful and vulnerable are set in high relief against cultural and historical forces that shape, but do not contain them.” (Steven Harvey, author of A Geometry of Lilies, Lost in Translation, and Bound for Shady Grove.)
