‘The Distance Between Us is the story of a villain told from love. It dwells in the humanity hidden behind the themes left by war. It also narrates that other war: the one which all of us wage against our parents to become the persons we are.’

Santiago Roncagliolo

‘The Distance Between Us goes far and appeals to the reader exactly because there is so little distance between what is written and what was lived.’

Alberto Fuguet

‘“Just as a father is never prepared to bury his son, a son is never prepared to dig up his father”(…) It is within this tension that this magnificent novel lies, full of drama and suspense from the very first page.
