Over Seven Thousand Kilometers Away

Nieves and Marco, both doctors, face the challenge of a year-long separation when he decides to work with an NGO and move to Port-au-Prince (Haiti).

There, his life is shaken by poverty, violence, and human relationships, bringing forth emotions he thought impossible. In his absence, Nieves wrestles with ghosts from the past and the challenges of the COVID pandemic, which likewise stirs her beliefs.

The intense experiences of the two will either strengthen their bond or bring it to an end.

More than Seven Thousand Kilometres, the novel by Alma B. Cross, was among the nine finalists for the 2022 Premio Planeta.
