Reviews
La crítica ha dicho sobre sus libros: «...su mayor virtud como narradora de cuentos podría ser la capacidad de resolver lo definitivo en un instante.» Silvina Friera, Página/12, sobre Quién no «Sus libros suelen proporcionarnos muy fecundos cruces entre niveles narrativos diferentes: en Las maldiciones está la ficción política pero también un nivel absolutamente íntimo que tiene que ver con la paternidad.» Eduardo Sacheri «Las maldiciones es una novela moral que te lleva al abismo de las oscuridades de las que son capaces los políticos para hundirse en la porquería dando la impresión de seguir impolutos.» Juan Cruz, El País (España) «Las viudas de los jueves es una novela ágil y un análisis implacable de un microcosmos social en acelerado proceso de decadencia.» José Saramago «Claudia Piñeiro arrancó con una perla rara, Tuya, un policial negro duro, pero de mujer, que usa con acelerador los elementos del género: la violencia, el engaño, los cruces complicados.» Elvio E. Gandolfo «Elena sabe es una historia sobrecogedora, narrada con gran hondura y economía de medios.» Rosa Montero
Synopsis
Una adolescente aparece quemada y descuartizada en un descampado. Treinta a os despu s, el crimen sigue sin aclararse y su familia y entorno se han desmoronado. Hace treinta a os, en un terreno bald o de un barrio tranquilo, apareci descuartizado y quemado el cad ver de una adolescente. La investigaci n se cerr sin culpables y su familia -de clase media educada, formal y cat lica- silenciosamente se fue resquebrajando Pero, pasado ese largo tiempo, la verdad oculta saldr a la luz gracias al persistente amor del padre de la v ctima. Esa verdad mostrar con crudeza lo que se esconde detr s de las apariencias; la crueldad a la que pueden llevar la obediencia y el fanatismo religioso; la complicidad de los temerosos e indiferentes, y tambi n, 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 peque a , Claudia Pi eiro ahonda con maestr a en los lazos familiares, en los prejuicios sociales y en las ideolog as e instituciones que marcan los mundos privados, y nos entrega una novela conmovedora y valiente, certera como una flecha clavada en el coraz n 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 Pi eiro 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., Una adolescente aparece quemada y descuartizada en un descampado.

    This book is fantastic! It is exactly as described and came at an excellent price. As far as I'm concerned, this is by far a first-rate, five-star seller that deserves everyone's business. The seller packaged the book with extreme care, shipped it quickly, and communicated effectively as needed throughout the process. This was an excellent buying experience on a well-priced book, and I wouldn't hesitate to buy from this seller again.
