Overview
«Hermanas avanza en una sorpresiva búsqueda por la identidad, ahondando en el silencio y las palabras postergadas, que buscan ser nombradas. Mediante un final inesperado, la segunda novela de Gisela Antonuccio recuerda que en lo efímero de un equilibrio se oculta a veces la clave de la existencia.» CLAUDIA PIÑEIRO. Vanesa y Lorena son hermanas, pero su hermandad no radica en su sangre. Vanesa es la mayor, adoptada de un pueblo de Italia, mientras que Lorena es hija biológica de un matrimonio porteño de clase media. Con la mirada de Vane iremos construyendo la infancia, la adolescencia y la adultez de estas dos mujeres que luchan, cada una a su manera, por encontrar su lugar en el mundo. La primera, obediente y orientada a las normas, pronto se convierte en la verdadera cuidadora de Lore, ya que ambos padres pasan los días fuera de casa para conseguir algo de prosperidad para la familia. Todo parece estar en armonía hasta que Lore entra a la pubertad; su rebeldía se destapa con una violencia en primer lugar hacia Vane, quien se alejará de esa relación que dejó de entender, para buscar su propia identidad. Hermanas es la construcción de dos posibilidades de ser en una historia, de la bifurcación de caminos para volver a encontrarse, del amor, finalmente, incondicional. Con una prosa concisa y contundente, Gisela Antonuccio crea una conmovedora historia de entrega, de perdones y de raíces. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Vanesa and Lorena are sisters, but their sisterhood is not based on blood. Vanesa is the eldest, adopted from a village in Italy, while Lorena is the biological daughter of a middle-class couple from Buenos Aires. Through Vane's eyes, we follow the childhood, adolescence and adulthood of these two women who struggle, each in her own way, to find their place in the world. The eldest, obedient and rule-oriented, soon becomes Lore's true caregiver, as both parents spend their days away from home trying to achieve prosperity for the family. Everything seems to be in harmony until Lore enters puberty; her rebelliousness is revealed with violence, first towards Vane, who will distance herself from this relationship she no longer understands in order to search for her own identity. Hermanas (Sisters) tells the story of two possible ways of being, of the crossroads to find each other again and, ultimately, of unconditional love. With concise and forceful prose, Gisela Antonuccio creates a moving story of devotion, forgiveness, and roots.
