Three deaths that were never brought to justice and occurred long before the term femicide became widely known: nineteen-year-old Andrea Danne, stabbed in her own bed; fifteen-year-old María Luisa Quevedo, raped, strangled, and dumped in wasteland; and twenty-year-old Sarita Mundín, whose disfigured body washed up on a river bank. In this brutal yet deeply important book, Selva Almada weaves these and other cases of violence against women into a clear-eyed, multi-faceted portrait that has global resonance.This is not a police chronicle, although there is an investigation.

Almada takes these and other tales of abused women to weave together a dry, straightforward portrait of gender violence that surpasses national borders and speaks to readers consciousness all over the world.Following the success of emThe Wind That Lays Waste/em, internationally acclaimed Argentinian author Selva Almada dives into the heart of this problem with a reported novel, comparable to Truman Capotes _In Cold Blood _or John Herseys emHiroshima/em, in response to the urgent need for attention to the ongoing catastrophe that is femicide.Not a police chronicle, not a thriller, but a contemporary noir novel that lives in the hearts of these women and the men who have abused them. Almada captures the invisible, and with lyrical brutality, blazes a new trail in journalistic fiction./p(*_*)9781916277854_<p><strong>Author of International Booker Finalist <em>Not a River</em></strong></p><p>Internationally acclaimed author of <em>Not a River</em> , Selva Almada tackles the issue of gender violence in this hybrid work that follows in the tradition of Truman Capotes <em>In Cold Blood</em> or John Herseys <em>Hiroshima</em> .Evoking with intimate first-hand knowledge the heat and dust of provincial Argentina, with all its secrets and conflicting loyalties, Almada tells the stories of three young women murdered in the early 1980s, as the country was celebrating its return to democracy.
