Far from My Mother's Home is Bárbara Mujica’s collection of stories were written during the decade prior to the publication of her novel, The Deaths of Don Bernado. These tales are truly dramatic and perfectly conceived with respect to form and content. The themes are modern and pertinent. The action is encased in a vivid realism that creates a certain visual quality. The situations, which are both specific and universal, are brought to life through an abundant and direct language. It is as though the writer were moved by a keen desire to show us each predicament from all angles.
