Fish Soup is made up of two novellas and an award-winning collection of short stories by Colombian author Margarita García Robayo, translated from Spanish.
The novella Waiting for a Hurricane is about a girl who dreams of escaping the poverty of her life in Colombia by any means possible. The people in her life are merely steps on her ladder to freedom.
The novella Sex Education is about a girl who struggles to reconcile her Catholic school’s teaching of abstinence with the morals and behaviour of everyone around her.
Worse Things is a collection of short stories mostly about people struggling with life and family.
