First of all. It might be read as a murder mystery since Rita is dead, but how? Elena, the mother, she needs the answer, she seaches for it, uses all her means and all her strength to get to the bottom of losing her daughter. Elena is suffering from advanced Parkinson, she has pills she takes and the story follows her pain, her little relief, her endurance. Her hate. On this route to this mystery woman who Elena thinks knows the answer to the death of Rita, her daughter, there are flashbacks there is the themes of the women ´s right to the body, abortion, of aging.Loved this book so much!

This was shortlisted for Booker International Prize 2022 and I am glad, it has the merits to win all prizes.
