Acclaimed as a literary masterpiece, this novel has garnered prestigious accolades including the Uruguayan National Literature Prize for Fiction, the Bartolomé-Hidalgo Fiction Prize, and the Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz Literature Prize.
In a port city besieged by an ecological catastrophe, a toxic algal bloom infests the river, whilst a lethal 'red wind' sweeps through the streets. As the affluent flee inland to safety, the less fortunate are left to seek refuge in abandoned dwellings, grappling with frequent power cuts and dwindling food supplies.
Our nameless protagonist is among those who have chosen to remain. She dedicates her days to extricating herself from two once-pivotal relationships and tending to a young lad placed under her guardianship. As their world contracts, she contemplates the disintegration of her emotional bonds and the emergence of a profound, yet tender, solitude.
With its captivating prose and vividly drawn characters, the multi-award-winning 'Pink Slime' offers a penetrating exploration of motherhood, matrimony, and caregiving, set against the backdrop of a city in decline. Fernanda Trias's tour de force invites readers to ponder the nature of human connections in the face of societal collapse.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
