Life after crime from the International Booker-shortlisted author of Elena Knows Fifteen years after killing her husbandâs lover, Inés is fresh out of prison and trying to put together a new life. Her old friend Manca is out now too, and theyâve started a business â FFF, or Females, Fumigation, and Flies â 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 â she wants her expertise, and her criminal past, to help her kill her husbandâs lover, too. Crimes against women versus crimes by women; culpability, fallibility, and our responsibilities to each otherâthis 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. |
