Overview
«Nadie le dice que no a la Hermana Superior. Nadie que quiera seguir viva».
El mundo como lo conocemos ha desaparecido después del gran apagón y de varias crisis climáticas. Apenas hay animales ni naturaleza y pocas personas han sobrevivido. Varias mujeres llegaron a una suerte de convento buscando refugio y han sido captadas por una secta religiosa. Una de ellas cuenta esta historia, escrita a escondidas noche tras noche para que alguien sepa todo lo que pasa entre esas paredes: torturas, sacrificios y ceremonias terroríficas en nombre de la iluminación. Se encuentran bajo el mando estricto de la Hermana Superior, por encima de quien solo se erige “Él”. ¿Quién es Él? Poco se sabe, nadie puede verlo, pero domina desde las sombras.
Agustina Bazterrica, la autora de la inolvidable Cadáver exquisito, nos ofrece en esta nueva y esperada novela una distopía perturbadora, en la que resplandece la naturaleza oscura de una falsa divinidad, un dios abusivo, pero también la forma subrepticia, aunque poderosa, de la amistad.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The latest novel by the acclaimed author of Cadáver exquisito [Tender Is the Flesh], winner of Argentina’s Clarín Novel Prize, and a worldwide sensation with more than 200,000 readers in dozens of countries.
“No one says no to the Mother Superior. No one who wants to live.”
The world as we know it has disappeared following a mass blackout and successive climate crises. Plants and wildlife have been largely obliterated, and few people remain. Several female survivors seek refuge at what appears to be a convent, where they are taken in by a religious sect. One of these women is the narrator of this story, written in secret night after night so that someone will know what went on behind these walls: torture, sacrifice and hair-raising ceremonies, all in the guise of enlightenment. Presiding over it all is a Mother Superior, whose authority is exceeded only by “Him,” a mysterious figure who governs from the shadows.
The eagerly anticipated new novel by Agustina Bazterrica, author of the unforgettable Cadáver exquisito [Tender Is the Flesh], transports readers to a dystopian reality ruled by the dark dictates of a false and abusive god but illuminated by the surreptitious power of friendship.
