Elena Knows by Claudia Piñeiro

Elena Knows by Claudia Piñeiro

Rita was found hanging in the church belfry and the police called it suicide. Her mother Elena knows it cannot be, because it was raining, and Rita would never have gone near the church in a storm.

Elena has advanced Parkinson's, and the novel is structured around her medication: she can move for a few hours after each dose, and the journey across Buenos Aires is measured in pills. Piñeiro turns a detective story into something else entirely, and the final conversation reframes the whole book.

Shortlisted for the International Booker Prize. Short, and one of the most powerful novels in translation of recent years.
