Coup de coeur
Coup de coeur (Literature), by Aminata
If you have read and loved Lullaby by Leila Slimani you will love this novel! The narrator (Estela, housemaid in a wealthy family in Santiago, Chile) who is both the protagonist tells us how she came to commit the unspeakable. The strength of this novel is the fact that the author manages to take us from a state of stupefaction to sweetness in an instant. It also reminds us that giving dignity, respect and empathy to the people around us is the foundation of living together. A captivating story!
‘A spellbinding nightmare … Addictive’ FERNANDA MELCHOR‘One of the most powerful voices of current Chilean literature’ EL MUNDOThe shockingly compulsive new novel from the International Booker-shortlisted author of The Remainder.Clean begins with an inescapable fact: a girl has died. Told by Estela, a maid to a wealthy, middle class family who speaks to us from a locked room, we hear of her plight and the circumstances that led to this moment. As we enter into her account of her daily existence, we see how her apparently simple life begins to sour, but would that drive her to the unthinkable?Disturbing and profound, Clean explores domestic work, class and violence, against the backdrop of Chile’s changing political landscape. This is one of the most daring and compelling thrillers in international literature.‘Clean is the best book of the year. It is the novel of a vital and truly extraordinary writer’ LA TERCERA
