'A ghost story without ghosts that, beyond the beauty of its form, explores solitude, the twists and turns of our lives, and the unfathomable complexities of affection.' Mariana Enriquez

While preparing an empty house for sale, a woman encounters an unblinking seven-year-old boy, trapped there from another era, like an insect preserved in amber. Unable to articulate what he needs, the child draws her into an unsettling bond that neither can escape ... until they understand what has caused it.

With incredible precision, this deeply disquieting novel weaves together doppelgangers and time loops in the tradition of a classic ghost story. Yet its contemporary sensibility - where lyricism meets cruelty - evokes the dark horror of Shirley Jackson.

From one of the most renowned Spanish-language authors working today, Last Day of a Prior Life is a masterful dissection of human longing and the ties that bind us, even across time itself.
