Overview
Verónica Balda es periodista y conduce uno de los programas de radio más escuchados de la mañana. Cierto día, recibe una noticia que cambiará por completo el curso de su vida: una joven cayó de un quinto piso en el barrio de Recoleta, en Buenos Aires. El departamento pertenece a un reconocido empresario agropecuario y la muerte de la mujer es mucho más que una noticia alarmante. Verónica sabe quién es, una historia densa y secreta las conecta. A medida que se desarrolle la novela, el lector conocerá diferentes versiones de los hechos, revelando cómo un relato puede ser multifacético y subjetivo, repleto de artificios y supuestos.
Maestra en la construcción de atmósferas inquietantes y el manejo de la tensión narrativa, Claudia Piñeiro aborda de forma audaz un tema de escalofriante actualidad, y desnuda, a través de la siempre fascinante posibilidad de la ficción, uno de los vínculos más oscuros, íntimos y antiguos: el de la prostitución VIP con el poder de turno.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
“Juliana tumbles into space, wearing a gauzy white dress that billows out around her. But instead of falling to the ground, just before she hits, she flutters her arms and soars like a butterfly.”
Verónica Balda hosts a popular morning radio show. One day, she is handed a news bulletin that will change her life: A young woman has fallen from the fifth floor of a building in the Recoleta neighborhood of Buenos Aires, the home of a prominent businessman. For Verónica, the death is much more than just a tragic accident, for she knows who the woman really is and the twisted and secret history that connects them. As the novel progresses, the reader is presented with different versions of the facts, each of them many faceted and subjective, full of artifices and suppositions.
A master of unsettling atmosphere and narrative tension, Claudia Piñeiro tackles an unsavory reality head on and, through the prism of fiction, lays bare one of the world’s oldest, darkest and most intimate secrets: the link between VIP prostitution and the powers that be.
