An AMAZON.CA Top 100 Book of 2013
A January Magazine Best Book of Fiction 2013
"Captivating...a story of blood, hatred, vengeance, and politics."-Radio-Canada
Alberto Ventura has travelled to Chile to attend the funeral of his father, Roberto. A man hated and loved both by his family and the local people, Roberto was known in the village as an enigma, a rake, a controversial boss, and a quick-tempered thug. It''s said that he has destroyed the family land by mass-farming eucalyptus trees, and he''s known to have killed a local boy in a fit of rage. Yet as Alberto delves into the rumours that obscure his father''s death-was it natural causes, vengeance, murder, or self-sacrifice?-he finds the reputation at stake is his own.
In a breath-catching story of race and identity, rife with Chile''s centuries-old tension between natives and local landowners, Mauricio Segura''s Eucalyptus investigates the flashpoint of one village community in an expanding world.
"Well-executed, with a cinematic quality and keen visual sense...Segura locates the political through the personal in a way that is uncommon."-Stephen Sparks, Green Apple Books
"A solid novelist of infallible instincts."-L''Actualité"
