Han cantado bingo

It all begins with a game: some nights, in the ten suspended minutes before Grandma returns from bingo, two sisters sneak out the back door to El Ahorcado —a round volcano like an upside-down belly— count to three, and run back without looking. However, one night something changes… because once you've crossed the threshold of a violent childhood, how do you see the world? A bingo card displays fifteen numbers —the same as the protagonist's ages throughout the novel, present like a fly or a butterfly fluttering above the title of each chapter— and in those ten suspended minutes of a game, anything is possible. "They've Called Bingo" presents a family with a gift that is both inherited and suffered, and a story as rugged as the coarse volcanic rock of Lanzarote. With playful and captivating language, both cruel and beautiful, Lana Corujo draws us into the silences and the guilt, the local festivals, the wounds, and the dark magic woven only between two sisters who share a secret.
