"Fausta is ill with a disease contracted from her mother’s breast milk known as “the milk of sorrow”. However, this is not a sickness caused by bacteria or infection: it is a condition that only affects those women in Peru who were (...) raped during the years of terrorist struggle.

But then, when her mother suddenly dies, Fausta is forced to face her fear"
