Synopsis "Las dos caras de enero (in Spanish)"

Las dos caros de enero es un perfecto entramado de vidas condicionadas por un pasado dudoso y abocadas a un porvenir amenazador. El encuentro en Europa de tres norteamericanos -Rydal Keener, un brillante licenciado en Harvard, y la pareja que forman los MacFarland, un simple estafador y su esposa- y la sutil relación de dependencia que se crea entre ellos constituyen el punto de partida para una de las novelas más tensas de la autora.

She was born in Fort Worth, Texas, in 1921, but moved to New York when she was six years old. By the age of sixteen, she became a writer. She was known for being a solitary person. She moved to Europe in 1963 and spent her last years in a secluded house near Locarno, on the border between Switzerland and Italy. Upon her death, she left three million dollars from her estate to Yaddo, the artists' community in upstate New York. Her first novel Strangers on a Train, was turned into a famous movie by Alfred Hitchcock in 1951. Her last novel Small g: A Summer Idyll was published posthumously just over a month later.
