Overview
La última novela de la aclamada autora de La casa de los conejos, una historia sobrecogedora basada en hechos reales.
Una fría mañana de diciembre de 1984, Griselda, argentina exiliada en Francia, se despierta con un fuerte dolor de cabeza. Tras pedir auxilio infructuosamente a Claudio, su marido, vuelve a casa, llena la bañera y ahoga en ella a sus dos hijos menores. La mayor, Flavia, de apenas seis años, se salva por hallarse en la escuela. Treinta años después, Laura Alcoba entrevista a los supervivientes de esta tragedia y, sin despejar el misterio del acto de Griselda, intenta acercarse a lo inconcebible. Preguntada sobre su madre, Flavia, que ahora es una exitosa fotógrafa, la describe como «presente, amorosa. Muy amorosa».
Tras la Trilogía de la casa de los conejos, Laura Alcoba nos brinda una narración deslumbrante y perturbadora sobre la oscuridad que se esconde en las relaciones más cotidianas y la posibilidad de apostar por el amor y el perdón.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The latest novel by the acclaimed author of The Rabbit House, a startling story based on real events.
On a cold December morning in 1984, Griselda, an Argentinian exiled in France, wakes up with a painful headache. After asking Claudio, her husband, for help to no avail, she returns home, fills the bathtub, and drowns her two youngest children. Flavia, the eldest, barely six years of age, is saved because she was at school. Thirty years later, Laura Alcoba interviews the survivors of this tragedy and, without clearing the mystery of Griselda’s actions, attempts to approach the inconceivable. When asked about her mother, Flavia, now a successful photographer, describes her as “present, caring. Very loving.”
After The Rabbit House trilogy, Laura Alcoba brings us a dazzling and disturbing tale about the darkness hidden behind the most ordinary relationships, and the possibility to bet on love and forgiveness.
