SERIES:Narrativas hispánicas
The story of the abuse of a minor narrated with extraordinary literary force. An uncomfortable and necessary book.
A single gesture was enough to turn her into a calf. Small, so small that she doesn’t know that she has been placed somewhere that doesn’t belong to her. An abyss in her ocean eyes, her gaze filled with stupor. Her house has become placeless. The house next door—the friendly house—has turned her into meat for the first time, despite her being too young. Now, everything is solitude.
La ternera uses restraint as a sharp resource to narrate a reality no one wants to see—that of abuse. It speaks of hurt and shame, of imposed guilt, of silence as a form of resistance. A book of great literary height that inevitably touches us. An uncomfortable and difficult book that is, at the same time, filled with tenderness.
