From the author of Elena Knows , finalist for the 2022 International Booker Prize20 years after a shocking accident, Mary Lohan returns to the Buenos Aires suburb she escaped in a fugue of guilt and isolation. She is not the same—not her name or voice, not even the color of her eyes. The neighborhood looks different too, but she’s still the same woman and it’s still the same place, and as the past erupts into view, they slowly collide. A Little Luck is the story about the debilitating weight of lies, the messy line between bravery and cowardice, and the tragedies, big and small, that can ripple out from a single decisive event. In a place she had determined to forget forever, both anticipated encounters and unanticipated revelations show her, and us, that sometimes life is neither fate nor chance: perhaps it’s nothing more than a little luck.

Life after crime from the International Booker-shortlisted author of Elena KnowsFifteen years after killing her husband’s lover, Inés is fresh out of prison and trying to put together a new life. Her old friend Manca is out now too, and they’ve started a business – FFF, or Females, Fumigation, and Flies – dedicated to pest control and private investigation, by women, for women. But Señora Bonar, one of their clients, wants Inés to do more than kill bugs – she wants her expertise, and her criminal past, to help her kill her husband’s lover, too. Crimes against women versus crimes by women; culpability, fallibility, and our responsibilities to each other—this is Piñeiro at her wry, earthy best, alive to all the ways we shape ourselves to be understandable, to be understood, by family and love and other hostile forces.

Lia fled her home after a brutal crime decades ago, but family, and the truth, will never let you go.Thirty years ago, in an empty plot of a quiet neighbourhood, a teenage girl's body was found quartered and burned. The investigation ended with no arrests and her family – middle class, educated, Catholic – quietly disintegrated. Three decades later, the hidden truth comes to light thanks to the father's enduring love for the victim. That truth will reveal the raw realities lurking behind appearances, the cruelty of those who prioritize obedience and religious fanaticism, the complicity of the fearful and the indifferent, and the loneliness and desperation of those who seek to follow their own path, ignoring the dictates of their elders.Just as she did with Elena Knows and A Little Luck , Claudia Piñeiro delves into family ties, social prejudice, and the ideologies and institutions that affect our inner worlds to deliver a brave, moving novel that strikes at the heart of these private dramas.

Sixteen tight, electric short stories that capture Claudia Piñeiro at her very best—the devastating, offhand brutality of being a woman in a world organized to keep her in her place. Resignation, violence, and rebellion are all always options. And Piñeiro remains unmatched in her whiplash dry wit, chronicling the demands of love and family life that shift from the personal to the political effortlessly, and in a moment.

De döda männen brukar träffas på herrmiddag varje torsdag. Grannarna är chockade över att det hänt mitt ibland dem. De lever omgärdade av höga stängsel för att stänga ute omvärlden. Bland dem finns ingen fattigdom eller våld - bara perfekta trädgårdar och glittrande pooler. Vad döljer sig bakom den glättiga ytan? Även en till synes bekymmerslös tillvaro rymmer mörka hemligheter som inte låter sig stängas ute av stängsel. Torsdagsänkorna är mycket mer än en spänningsroman.
