In the early 1900s, Karamakate, a young shaman in the Colombian Amazon and the last of his people, helps a sick German explorer and his local guide search for a rare healing plant. Inspired by the journals of two real-life explorers, Guerra constructs a fictional knit of their experiences as the travellers experience the horrific aftermath of the rubber boom in the South American jungle.
“I was utterly mesmerised, captivated and transported.”
