Secrets and revenge converge in this chilling tale from a breakout new Latin American voice

Lucas returns to his childhood home in rural Ecuador to discover that it has been taken over by two strangers. His mother's beloved garden lies in ruins, the walls are slowly crumbling and the house that was once so alive seems to be rotting before his eyes.

Lucas takes refuge in the dark underworld of insects, comforted by their beauty, their ingenuity, their perfection. Only they have survived the strangers' invasion. Only they can help Lucas take revenge.

Part prose poem, part psychological thriller, This World Does Not Belong to Us is a captivatingly dark story about betrayal, regret and deception, from an explosive new literary talent.

About Amplify Bookstore

An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.

Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.

We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.

I loved how inclusive this space was, there were dyslexia friendly books and a space for books about queer love, a bit of something for everyone.
