Synopsis "Elena sabe (in Spanish)"

Poco después de que Rita aparece muerta en la iglesia que suele frecuentar, la investigación se da por cerrada, y su madre es la única que no renuncia a esclarecer el crimen. Pero jaqueada por la enfermedad, es también la menos indicada para encabezar la búsqueda del asesino. Un penoso viaje de los suburbios a la Capital, una vieja deuda de gratitud, una conversación reveladora. Una novela que desnuda los secretos de sus personajes y las facetas ocultas del autoritarismo y la hipocresía que conforman nuestra sociedad. Elena sabe ganó en Alemania el certamen LiBeraturpreis 2010, que premia a la mejor novela escrita por una mujer.
