A young woman is murdered by her ex-partner – a femicide left unpunished. Twenty-nine years later, her sister, author Cristina Rivera Garza, embarks on a literary search for traces. She writes against silence, struggling with language and the bureaucracy of justice. The result is a powerful work about memory, loss, and justice. »A moving, heart-wrenching memoir as well as an unflinching appraisal of the widespread violence against women in Mexico.« [Kirkus Reviews]
We thank the DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program for supporting Cristina Rivera Garza’s stay in Berlin.
