Holiday Heart

Margarita García Robayo (translated by Charlotte Coombe)

Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. Holiday Heart by Margarita García Robayo, follows the story of two Colombian immigrants as they try to sustain the new life they have built while grappling with their new identities. 

What Hay Cartagena Says: Poignant and funny, and with a healthy does of cynicism to boot, Holiday Heart depicts a disintegrating marriage of Colombian immigrants based in the US. Every sentence matters here, as the author explores the disjunction between reality and the idealised pictures of life we might present to the world.

What They Say: “There are very few writers who can challenge expectations the way Margarita García Robayo does. Margarita is simply one of the best of the new generation that respects, yet no longer identifies with, the Latin American Boom” — Mariana Enríquez
