En este libro conmovedor basado en las experiencias propias de la autora, una niña reflexiona sobre las emociones y los desafíos que enfrenta en torno al encarcelamiento de su hermano. Con su hermano mayor en prisión, una niña aprende a procesar las emociones confusas que crea su ausencia. A veces recuerda la forma en que su hermano la cargaba sobre sus hombros o como inventaba historias para contarle a la hora de acostarse. Otras veces se siente enojada y quiere volar lejos para olvidar lo sucedido. Así que está emocionada y además nerviosa cuando su mamá y su papá la llevan a visitarlo. Pero los nervios se transforman en alegría cuando lo ve: todo es diferente, pero todo sigue igual. Su hermano no está en casa, pero su amor no ha cambiado. Con un lenguaje sóbrio, suave y reconfortante, este libro ilustrado ayudará a los lectores jóvenes con historias similares a sentirse menos solos y les dará a otros lectores una ventana a las luchas que enfrentan algunos niños.

'She thought that it was precisely when things get uncomfortable or can't be shown that something interesting comes to light. That is the point of no return, the point that must be reached, the point you reach after crossing the border of what has already been said, what has already been seen. It's cold out there.'This hybrid novel--part research notes, part fictionalised diary, and part travelogue--uses the stories of polar exploration to make sense of the protagonist's own concerns as she comes of age as an artist, a daughter, and a sister to an autistic brother. Conceptual and emotionally compelling, it advances fearlessly into the frozen emotional lacunae of difficult family relationships. Deserving winner of multiple awards upon its Catalan and Spanish publication, Brother in Ice is a richly rewarding journey into the unknown.
