" An arresting tale of love, regret, and redemption . John Manuel Arias offers a searing look into the legacy of American agribusiness in Costa Rica and masterfully tells the story of a family fighting to put itself back together in the wake of unimaginable loss. As poetic as it is powerful, Where There Was Fire burns with rage and grief, and most of all, hope." --Jenny Tinghui Zhang , author of Four Treasures of the Sky "A sweeping portrait of a Costa Rican family that has the energy of a speeding train. Each sentence that John Manuel Arias writes carries the juice of great gossip, the lyricism of a favorite poem, and the blood of forgotten history. I will never forget this book ." --Melissa Lozada-Oliva , author of Dreaming of You, " A striking debut rich in secrets and sadness." --Kirkus " Where There Was Fire heralds the arrival of an astounding imagination and an unforgettable new voice. John Manuel Arias weaves an ambitious story that exposes the costs of corporate greed while revealing the power of personal agency and the enduring bonds of family. This is a book you'll want to read again and again. " --Cleyvis Natera, author of Neruda on the Park " A haunting, operatic saga of family, history and place. Where There Was Fire beautifully braids love, lust, magic and the destructive power of man to wondrous and, at times, heartbreaking effect. Arias has created an utterly original, unforgettable tale of family that will sear a place in the reader's soul. " --Xochitl Gonzalez , bestselling author of Olga Dies Dreaming " Where There Was Fire reads as if enchanted by the spirit of an ancient and generous storyteller. How privileged we are to read of this memorable family! It is an astonishing debut novel, written in prose so atmospheric and poetic that I gasped too many times to count. Where There Was Fire quite literally took my breath away ." --Kali Fajardo-Anstine , ABA winner and bestselling author of Woman of Light and Sabrina & Corina " An arresting tale of love, regret, and redemption .
