Description
In the early 1980s, as Argentina moves toward democracy, three young women—Andrea Danne, María Luisa Quevedo, and Sarita Mundín—are murdered in ways that expose the brutal realities of gender violence and the failures of justice. Blending reportage with literary craft, this hybrid work follows the cases through interviews, documents, and the lingering silences of a provincial landscape, where secrets and loyalties complicate every attempt to know the truth. Rather than a conventional police chronicle or a suspense-driven thriller, the book builds a clear-eyed, multi-faceted portrait of how violence is enabled, concealed, and normalized. With Selva Almada’s intimate, lyrical style and her commitment to social reckoning, the narrative illuminates themes of power, impunity, and collective memory—offering a story with urgent global resonance.
