Description

Decades after a teenage girl is found brutally murdered in a quiet, respectable neighborhood, Lia has spent her life running from the past—only to discover that family ties and buried truths have a way of catching up. When the case is reopened through the father’s unwavering devotion, long-buried secrets begin to surface, exposing how obedience, religious fanaticism, and social prejudice can warp love into control and silence into complicity. As the investigation unfolds, the novel traces the emotional cost of institutions that demand conformity, and the loneliness of those who dare to choose their own path. With Claudia Piñeiro’s signature blend of intimate psychological insight and social critique, this is a brave, moving story about cruelty behind appearances and the fragile, human search for truth.
