Catedrales by Claudia Pineiro (Korean Book)
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.
Coming soon a TV series on HBO.
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.
