Reviews
"The human body-complicated, mysterious, simultaneously beautiful and repellent-plays the starring role in Alicia Kozameh's compelling novel. Alcira is the younger of two sisters; her elder sister, Mariana, is physically and mentally disabled. The novel traces the complicated relationship between the sisters through the years and shows how the family addresses the challenges of Mariana's upbringing. . . . This is a complex, multileveled, satisfying novel that will give book-group readers plenty of themes to discuss." - Booklist (January 2013), "The human body--complicated, mysterious, simultaneously beautiful and repellent--plays the starring role in Alicia Kozameh's compelling novel.

Synopsis
Partially autobiographical, this is a masterpiece of introspective, linguistically innovative fiction about the relationship between two sisters, one severely handicapped, the other gifted yet overlooked. Mariana is four years older than her sister, Alcira, but Mariana is severely disabled and is slowly dying. Conveying the experience of a physically messy process, this account points out the flaws in adult society through the point-of-view of its child protagonist. At its core, this novel is about the abuse of power and its consequences-whether that abuse is by a government, a parent, or a child., Partially autobiographical, this translation of the Spanish Patas de Avestruz is a masterpiece of introspective, linguistically innovative fiction about the relationship between two sisters--one severely handicapped, the other gifted yet overlooked.
