The Visit is a book of glimpses, of glimmers, of exacting moments. Stories like fleeting windows onto other lives. In prose both solid and light, both contained and generous, Mariana Graciano invites us to regard her characters for an instant: the instant when something-whether thunderous or subtle-moves, unhitches, or is reabsorbed. A book that helps us leave ourselves for a little while, peer into other dwellings, and watch intently, captivated, through the fifteen spyholes that this author has cut into the door. - Laia Jufresa
