In this brutal, gripping novel, Selva Almada narrates the case of
three small-town teenage girls murdered in the 1980's in the
interior of Argentina.Three deaths without culprits: 19-year old
Andrea Danne, stabbed in her own bed; 15-year old Maria Luisa
Quevedo, raped, strangled, and dumped in wasteland; and 20-year old
Sarita Mundin, whose disfigured body was found on a river bank.
Almada takes these and other tales of abused women to weave
together a dry, straightforward portrait of gender violence that
surpasses national borders and speaks to readers' consciousness all
over the world.Following the success of The Wind That Lays Waste,
internationally acclaimed Argentinian author Selva Almada dives
into the heart of this problem with a reported novel, comparable to
Truman Capote's _In Cold Blood _or John Hersey's Hiroshima, in
response to the urgent need for attention to the ongoing
catastrophe that is femicide.Not a police chronicle, not a
thriller, but a contemporary noir novel that lives in the hearts of
these women and the men who have abused them. Almada captures the
invisible, and with lyrical brutality, blazes a new trail in
journalistic fiction.
