520    "A richly imaginative debut, detailing a girl and her 
       father finding their way -and themselves - while they work
       as traveling hardware salesmen in Pinochet-era Chile, is a
       rare work of magic and originality. For seven-year-old M, 
       the world is guided by a firm set of principles, based on 
       her father D's life as a traveling salesman. Enchanted by 
       her father's trade, M convinces him to take her along on 
       his routes, selling hardware supplies amid the backdrop of
       Pinochet-era Chile. As she becomes part of a tight-knit 
       community of fellow salesmen and grifters, M is regaled 
       with parables and anecdotes that inform her "parallel 
       education," D's excuse for letting her skip school without
       M's mother's knowledge. As father and daughter trek from 
       town to town in their old Renault, M's memories and 
       thoughts become tied to a language of rural commerce, 
       philosophy, the cosmos, hardware products, and ghosts. M, 
       in her innocence, barely notices the rising tensions and 
       precarious nature of their work, until she and her father 
       connect with an enigmatic photographer, E, whose presence 
       threatens to upend the whimsical life they've created."--
