The World in Half

“In her powerful first novel, The World in Half, Cristina Henríquez delivers a heartbreaking yet ultimately hopeful meditation on family, identity, love, and loss. She takes on the core issues of life with a sensitivity and relentlessness that very few writers can hope to match.”

-Ben Fountain, author of Brief Encounters with Che Guevara

Come Together, Fall Apart

“These stories, told in a direct and sparse style, are truly unforgettable. Cristina Henríquez’s young female protagonists are as haunting as the setting of Panama. I could not put aside this book.”

-Isabel Allende, author of The House of the Spirits
