Following the success of Mirafiori, Manuel Jabois returns with a disturbing story that explores the complexities of family. The plot follows Amalia Constenla, who, on the eve of her sixty-fifth birthday, locks herself in her home while a mysterious event paralyzes the entire town for twenty-four hours. Through this intense narrative, the author delves into moral boundaries, sacrifice, guilt, and redemption, offering an uncomfortable yet fascinating look at family bonds. With an impeccable literary style, Jabois constructs a story that takes place in a single day, where tension and introspection intertwine. The work establishes itself as a deep inquiry into the origin and destiny of the family institution, reaffirming the author's ability to capture the human essence with melancholy and boldness.
