Description
In a tightly observed portrait of Argentina’s upper middle class, a series of unsettling disappearances forces a group of women to confront the secrets that have quietly governed their marriages and their lives. What begins as a familiar rhythm of domestic routines and social rituals gradually curdles into suspicion, grief, and moral reckoning as the “Thursday night” gatherings become the stage for mounting dread. With suspense built from ordinary details rather than spectacle, Claudia Piñeiro blends crime plotting with an intimate study of power, loyalty, and the costs of silence. The novel explores how family bonds can both protect and destroy, and how sacrifice—especially when demanded in the name of respectability—can leave lasting scars.
