'A searing tale of seduction and betrayal, both wryly comic and
deeply serious' Sigrid Nunez, National Book Award-winning author of
The Friend 'Intimate, irreverent, fast-paced and raw' Sunday Times
Lucas Pereyra, an unemployed writer in his forties, embarks on a
day trip from Buenos Aires to Montevideo to pick up a fifteen
thousand dollar advance in cash. This small fortune might solve his
problems, most importantly the unbearable tension in his marriage.
While his wife spends her days at work and her nights out on the
town - with a lover, perhaps - Lucas is stuck at home all day
staring at the blank page, caring for his son Maiko and fantasizing
about the one thing that keeps him going: the Uruguayan woman he
recently met at a conference and who he longs to see on this trip.
The Woman from Uruguay is the surprising and moving story of one
transformative day in Lucas' life. An international bestseller, it
is the masterpiece of one of Latin America's most beloved writers,
translated by Man Booker International winner Jennifer Croft. 'At
once a picaresque comedy and a penetrating study of a man on the
verge of middle age' Colm Toibin
