For seven-year-old M, the world is guided by a firm set of principles, based on her father D's life as a traveling salesman. Enchanted by her father's trade, M convinces him to take her along on his routes, selling hardware supplies amid the backdrop of Pinochet-era Chile. As she becomes part of a tight-knit community of fellow salesmen and grifters, M is regaled with parables and anecdotes that inform her "parallel education," D's excuse for letting her skip school without M's mother's knowledge. As father and daughter trek from town to town in their old Renault, M's memories and thoughts become tied to a language of rural commerce, philosophy, the cosmos, hardware products, and ghosts. M, in her innocence, barely notices the rising tensions and precarious nature of their work, until she and her father connect with an enigmatic photographer, E, whose presence threatens to upend the whimsical life they've created"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Fiction Ferrada   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library YA -- Fiction Ferrada   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Laupahoehoe P/S Library YA -- Fiction Ferrada Realistic Checked In Add Copy to MyList
