Eartheater: A Novel unfolds in an unnamed slum in contemporary Argentina, where a young woman develops a strange compulsion: she eats earth. With each handful of dirt, she is seized by unsettling visions that reveal the fates of murdered and missing people.

Her first vision shows her the terrible truth about her own mother's death. Shaken and isolated, she hides her ability, until a tenuous connection with a withdrawn police officer draws her into the secrets of her community. As word spreads, neighbours and strangers alike begin to seek her out, desperate for answers about their lost loved ones.

Told from a feminist perspective, this literary debut blends mystery and magical realism to explore how violence, poverty, and disappearance shape ordinary lives. Spare yet emotionally rich, it focuses on those left behind—the women who live with uncertainty, grief, and the quiet weight of not knowing.

Surreal and haunting, Eartheater offers a vivid portrait of a marginalized neighbourhood and a young woman caught between her disturbing gift and the people who need it. Translated from the Spanish by Julia Sanches.
