Descripción
Nombre de familia is a tapestry of drifts and pains, joys and eccentricities that narrate the daily life of a family from La Plata during Argentina’s darkest years. Each chapter portrays the narrator’s relationship with an «adult» family member. The narrator is a girl who naturally accepts what happens around her. Her luminous innocence, not without reflection, allows her to recount one of the terrible moments in Argentine history from a new perspective, in which the central focus is not the political struggle but the management of lives in their most primary reproduction: eating, healing, accompanying. With mastery and simplicity, Cecilia Ferreiroa creates a set of unforgettable characters and gives us an emotional novel of singular depth.
