Las que quedan

The narrator tries to understand who her father was. She never knew him—he was killed when she was just twenty-one months old. In reconstructing his life, she hopes to better understand herself, why it is important to speak openly about death, and why she must grow apart from him in order to move forward. She seeks answers by talking to his friends and her mother, while also reflecting on her own life and relationships. A cat becomes a key character, guiding her toward understanding.
