«La jaula de cristal» is the suspense novel by Hilary Mantel, published by Ediciones Destino in paperback (392 pages, in Spanish).
A middle-aged British woman settles with her engineer husband in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. There she clashes with the oppressive Saudi society, the disenfranchisement of women and a reserved, watchful expatriate community. A mystery in a neighbouring flat, a death from a dark accident and an attempted murder fuel a psychological thriller about political corruption, sexism, religious fanaticism and the clash between East and West.
The work was originally published in 1988 under the title «Eight Months on Ghazzah Street». This Spanish edition, in the Áncora & Delfín collection, includes a translation by Albert Vitó i Godina.
For readers of psychological thrillers and contemporary fiction who want a suspense story with political and social undertones.
