ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONSoon-to-be an adapted series on NetflixA touching and fascinating story, both elegant and wise. This may be Tamara Trottners first book, but she writes like a veteran author. She sees and understands the pain and experiences of others, allowing her to be mature and generous when weaving her characters fates. This is a moving and captivating novel. - Angeles Mastretta The table is round. Made of mahogany and barely big enough to hold a gray rotary phone. I look up; at this age, you have to look up to see anyone. My brother and I anxiously listen as our father speaks into the receiver. My gaze shifts from one to the other while I struggle to understand whats happening. I just turned five. This day will mark the end of my childhood. Passion is never wrong, but it can be misguided. As revenge against his wife, a man kidnaps their children and flees with them to a succession of foreign countries, setting off a war between two powerful families determined to cling to wealth and power at any cost. Only five years old at the time, the daughter is swept up in whirlwind of dueling loves and hates, vengeance and protection, and contradictory demands: to hate the ones she loves the most, and trust those who lie to her. In this bewildering new reality, she struggles to understand that some loves are impossible, some lives arent normal, some hatreds have no escape, and the only absolute truth is that unconditional love is full of conditions.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. AUTORA GALARDONADA CON PREMIO PEPE CARVALHO DE NOVELA NEGRA 2019 PREMIO BEST NOVEL DE VLC NEGRA 2021 PREMIO HAMMETT A LA MEJOR NOVELA DE GENERO NEGRO EN ESPANOL PUBLICADA EN 2020 La novela que consagro a Claudia Pineiro, y que inspiro la pelicula de Marcelo Pineyro, presenta un cuadro implacable de la decadencia social de la Argentina del cambio de siglo. Detras de las altas paredes perimetrales, mas alla de los portones reforzados por barreras, se encuentra Altos de la Cascada. Afuera, la ruta, la barriada popular de Santa Maria de los Tigrecitos, la autopista, la ciudad, el resto del mundo. En Altos de la Cascada viven familias que llevan un mismo estilo de vida y que quieren mantenerlo cueste lo que cueste. Alli, un grupo de amigos se reune semanalmente lejos de las miradas de sus hijos, sus empleadas domesticas y sus esposas, quienes, excluidas del encuentro varonil, se autodenominan, bromeando, las viudas de los jueves. Pero una noche la rutina se quiebra y ese hecho permite descubrir, en un pais que se desmorona, el lado oscuro de una vida perfecta. El paraiso esta a punto de estallar. Las viudas de los jueves fue galardonada con el Premio Clarin de Novela 2005. ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONPineiros clever U.S. debut. . illuminates the hypocrisies of the country's upper classes after 9/11.Publishers Weekly Three bodies lie at the bottom of a swimming pool in a gated country estate near Buenos Aires. It's Thursday night at the magnificent Scaglia house. Behind the locked gates, shielded from the crime, poverty, and filth of the people on the streets, the Scaglias and their friends hide lives of infidelity, alcoholism, and abusive marriage. Claudia Pineiro's novel eerily foreshadowed a criminal case that generated a scandal in the Argentine media. But this is more than a story about crime. The suspense is a byproduct of Pineiro's hand at crafting a psychological portrait of a professional class that lives beyond its means and leads secret lives of deadly stress and despair. It takes place during the post-9/11 economic meltdown in Argentina, but it is a universal story that will resonate among credit-crunched readers of today. The film Thursdays Widows, by Argentine New Wave and award-winning director Marcelo Pineyro is now streaing on Netflix. "An agile novel written in a language perfectly pitched for the subject matter, a ruthless dissection of a fast decaying society"Jose Saramago, Nobel Prize winner A razor-sharp psychological and social portrait not only of Argentina, but of the afluent Western world as a whole.Rosa Montero Pineiro is particularly skilful at exposing the social forces undermining Argentine society, and the fragility of personal relationships. We learn the surprising truth of the three mens death in the final chapter; the build-up to it is riveting.The Times (London) "Pineiro builds up tension through banal, domestic details and the accretion of despair in everyday marital and professional struggles. There may be bloody murder at the centre of this novel, but the dystopia portrayed is an indictment not solely of an assassin but of Argentinas class structure and the willful blindness of its petty bourgeoisie."Times Literary Supplement Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
