"Alia Trabucco Zerán har skrivit en hypnotisk mardröm." Fernanda Melchor.

En liten flicka har dött under märkliga omständigheter och ett hembiträde berättar sin historia inifrån en fängelsecell. Kvinnan heter Estela, och har lämnat sin mor och ett fattigt liv på landsbygden för att bli tjänsteflicka hos en välbärgad familj i Santiago. I bekännelsens form rullas en skakande berättelse upp om alienation och maktlöshet, med förgreningar in i det chilenska klassamhällets mörkaste vrår.

"Rent hus" är en roman om de som tjänar och med sina arbetande kroppar offras i ett skoningslöst system. På en elektrifierande och beroendeframkallande prosa som hyllats av kritiker och läsare skildrar Alia Trabucco Zerán människor infångade i ett samhällstillstånd där varje försök till ömhet tycks dömt att krossas under ojämlikhetens tyngd.

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER!WINNER OF THE 2024 PRIX FEMINA ETRANGERShortlisted for the Medicis Etranger Prize"A masterclass in suspense … Extraordinary." – Paula Hawkins “Terrifying, explosive and exhilarating” – Katie Kitamura"A modern masterpiece." -LitHubFrom a global star and International Booker Prize finalist, a razor-sharp, unforgettable novel about a maid who’s seen too much and a family at a breaking pointA young girl has died and the family’s maid is being interrogated. She must tell the whole story before arriving at the girl’s death.Estela came from the countryside, leaving her mother behind, to work for the señor and señora when their only child was born. They wanted a housemaid: “smart appearance, full time,” their ad said. She wanted to make enough money to support her mother and return home. For seven years, Estela cleaned their laundry, wiped their floors, made their meals, kept their secrets, witnessed their fights and frictions, raised their daughter. She heard the rats scrabbling in the ceiling, saw the looks the señor gave the señora; she knew about the poison in the cabinet, the gun, the daughter’s rebellion as she grew up, the mother’s coldness, the father’s distance. She saw it all.After a series of shocking betrayals and revelations, Estela stops speaking, breaking her silence only now, to tell the story of how it all fell apart. Is this a story of revenge or a confession? Class warfare or a cautionary tale? Building tension with every page, Clean is a gripping, incisive exploration of power, domesticity, and betrayal from an international star at the height of her powers.

Shortlisted for the 2019 Man Booker International Prize Santiago, Chile.The city is covered in ash. Three children of ex-militants are facing a past they can neither remember nor forget. Felipe sees dead bodies on every corner of the city, counting them up in an obsessive quest to square these figures with the official death toll.He is searching for the perfect zero, a life with no remainder. Iquela and Paloma, too, are searching for a way to live on.When the body of Paloma's mother is lost in transit, the three take a hearse and a bottle of pisco up the cordillera for a road trip with a difference.Intense, intelligent, and extraordinarily sensitive to the shape and weight of words, this remarkable debut presents a new way to count the cost of a pain that stretches across generations.

Winner of the 2022 British Academy Prize for Global Cultural Understanding.Novelist Alia Trabucco Zerán has long been fascinated not only with the root causes of violence against women, but by those women who have violently rejected the domestic and passive roles they were meant by their culture to inhabit. Choosing as her subject four iconic homicides perpetrated by Chilean women in the twentieth century, she spent years researching this brilliant work of narrative nonfiction detailing not only the troubling tales of the murders themselves, but the story of how society, the media and men in power reacted to these killings, painting their perpetrators as witches, hysterics, or femmes fatales . . . That is, either evil or out of control.Corina Rojas, Rosa Faúndez, Carolina Geel and Teresa Alfaro all committed murder. Their crimes not only led to substantial court decisions, but gave rise to multiple novels, poems, short stories, paintings, plays, songs and films, produced and reproduced throughout the last century. In When Women Kill, we are provided with timelines of events leading up to and following their killings, their apprehension by the authorities, their trials and their representation in the media throughout and following the judicial process. Running in parallel with this often horrifying testimony are the diaries kept by Trabucco Zerán while she worked on her research, addressing the obstacles and dilemmas she encountered as she tackled this discomfiting yet necessary project.
