Fiction
The Roots of All Evil
by Paola G. Gasca
Description
A black and white photograph; a little girl; a small town. Dolores and Jacinta are sisters-in-law who cope with parallel grief. Dolores cannot seem to find a place inside her husband’s heart, not a simple life as she is surrounded by children. Jacinta carries the burden and sadness of being unable to get pregnant. It will be Inés, one of Dolores’ daughters, who strikes the balance and determines the destiny, love, and loss path not only of those women, but of the entire town. The Roots of All Evil happens in a town where hate is so deeply grounded, and where stories get tangled up with superstition, and where the roots of both touch each other, to the point where reality is suspended between veils of evil and sheer coincidence.

“With an agile prose, full of captivating images, Paola G. Gasca takes us deep inside a family that is beset by ancient hurts, and haunted by its inability for redemption, where the living coexist with the memories of the dead, and evil is incarnate in the most vulnerable ones.” – Laura Baeza
