Literary synopsis

In Bajo sus pies, the narrator returns to her hometown to mourn the death of her mother and take over the administration of the family field, a challenge and the fulfillment of a mandate. The gringo pampas and the agricultural industry; the fallow, the sowing and the harvest; the series and movies that she watches and with which she avoids are mixed in a story that is the story of a mother, a daughter and a family. In other words, Bajo sus pies is a novel about the current pampas and also about the complex and fascinating destiny of Argentina.
