Travel to Colombia with the Millbook Club this August as we read Ingrid Rojas Contreras’ memoir The Man Who Could Move Clouds.
“For Rojas Contreras, magic runs in the family. Growing up in the Colombia of the 1980's and 1990's in a house where "what did you dream?" was asked in place of "how are you?" her world was laced with prophecy and violence. Her maternal grandfather, Nono, was a renowned curandero, a community healer gifted with the ability to talk to the dead, tell the future, treat the sick, and move the clouds… Interweaving family stories more enchanting than any novel, resurrected Colombian history, and her own deeply personal reckonings with the bounds of reality, she writes her way through the incomprehensible and into her inheritance.”
Print copies are available from the circulation desk.
