The Green House unfolds in two different locations: Piura, a small town in the desert of the Peruvian coast, and Santa María de Nieva, a small village lost in the heart of the Amazon.
The connection between the two is the Green House, the legendary brothel of Piura: a den of debauchery for the priest and his faithful, a place of revelry and forbidden pleasures for the local men as well as for foreigners.
A strange sequence of events somehow links the heroes of the five stories that reference the Green House, even if they have never been there, even if they have never seen it.
Five stories that, through various narrative methods, ultimately form a captivating novel, which moves through labyrinths of sand, wild vegetation, scents, textures, sounds, and images.
A novel that holds a special place in the history of Latin American literature, The Green House is considered one of the greatest works of Llosa.
