Praise for Claudia Pineiro's "Thursday Night Widows"
"An agile novel, a ruthless dissection of a fast decaying
society."--Jose Saramago, winner of the Nobel Prize for
Literature
"A gripping story. The dystopia portrayed is an indictment not
solely of an assassin but of Argentina's class structure and the
willful blindness of its petty bourgeoisie."--"The Times Literary
Supplement "
"A fine morality tale which explores the dark places societies
enter when they place material comfort before social justice, and
security before morality."--"Publishers Weekly"
Ines is convinced that every wife is bound to be betrayed one
day, so she is not surprised to find a note in her husband
Ernesto's briefcase with a heart smeared in lipstick crossed by the
words "All Yours" and signed, "Your true love."
She follows him to a park on a rainy winter evening and
witnesses a violent quarrel he has with another woman. The woman
collapses; Ernesto sinks her body in a nearby lake. When Ernesto
becomes a suspect in the case she provides him with an alibi. After
all, hatred can bring people together as urgently as love. But
Ernesto cannot bring his sexual adventures to an end, so Ines
concocts a plan for revenge from which there is no return.
Claudia Pineiro, formerly a journalist and playwright, is the
author of literary crime novels that are all bestsellers in Latin
America and have been translated into six languages. "All Yours
"follows on the success of "Thursday Night Widows," published in
2010 in the United States.
