About the book

'I'm twisted. A contorted child. An adult who is a hole, a tear.' When a military dictatorship takes hold of her home country, young Marisol flees into the night with her family. Seeking refuge, the family resides in a refugee camp in the hope of being granted asylum abroad and eventually moving to Norway. Told through fragments from Marisol's childhood and adult years, Chiquitita is loosely based on Pedro Carmona-Alvarez's own experience of fleeing Chile. A haunting story of displacement and trauma, but equally of hope and love in spite of adversity.
