Summary

Publisher Annotation: THIS YEAR'S NEW AUTHOR REVELATION IN LATIN AMERICAN LITERATURE, finalist of the Man Booker Prize, and one of the most important debuts of the year according to the newspaper El País. "A bare and raw reflection of our society from yesterday and today." -Carla Guelfenbein "An important and beautifully written book: [...] a police thriller, a diary and feminist discussion." -Giuseppe Caputo This provocative and disturbing book comes about after years of research on the crimes committed by four Chilean women (Corina Rojas, Rosa Faúndez, María Carolina Geel, and María Teresa Alfaro), and on how society, the media, and those in power reacted to those who violently transgressed the domestic and passive rolls that had been assigned to them. After being a finalist in the Man Booker International award with La resta / The Remainder, her first novel, with Las homicidas / The Murderers, a vibrant and profound work, Alia Trabucco Zerán radically questions what we have presumed as "normal" and adds her name to the new panorama of Latin American literature. Chile, 240pp
