8Una adolescente aparece quemada y descuartizada en un descampado. Treinta años después, el crimen sigue sin aclararse y su familia y entorno se han desmoronado.

Hace treinta años, en un terreno baldío de un barrio tranquilo, apareció descuartizado y quemado el cadáver de una adolescente. La investigación se cerró sin culpables y su familia -de clase media educada, formal y católica- silenciosamente se fue resquebrajando Pero, pasado ese largo tiempo, la verdad oculta saldrá a la luz gracias al persistente amor del padre de la víctima.

Esa verdad mostrará con crudeza lo que se esconde detrás de las apariencias; la crueldad a la que pueden llevar la obediencia y el fanatismo religioso; la complicidad de los temerosos e indiferentes, y también, la soledad y el desvalimiento de quienes se animan a seguir su propio camino, ignorando mandatos heredados.

Como en Las viudas de los jueves, en Elena sabe y en Una suerte pequeña, Claudia Piñeiro ahonda con maestría en los lazos familiares, en los prejuicios sociales y en las ideologías e instituciones que marcan los mundos privados, y nos entrega una novela conmovedora y valiente, certera como una flecha clavada en el corazón de este drama secreto.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A teenager is found burned and dismembered in a field. Thirty years later, the crime remains unclear and her family and surroundings have fallen apart.

Thirty years ago, in a vacant lot in a quiet neighborhood, the corpse of a teenage girl was found dismembered and burned. The investigation was closed without suspects and her family - educated, formal, Catholic, and middle class - quietly fell apart. But, after such a long time, the hidden truth will come to light thanks to the persistent love of the victim's father.

That truth will show crudely what is hidden behind appearances; the cruelty to which obedience and religious fanaticism can lead; the complicity of the fearful and indifferent, and also the loneliness and helplessness of those who dare to follow their own path, ignoring inherited mandates.

As in The Thursday Widows, Elena Knows, and A Little Luck, Claudia Piñeiro delves masterfully into family ties, social prejudices, and the ideologies and institutions that mark private worlds, and delivers us a moving and brave novel, as accurate as an arrow stuck in the heart of this secret drama.
