“Delicacy and cruelty converge in these stories: stories about women, heroines who are hunters or hunted, who kill or die, who atone for their own sins and also for other people’s, who try -in vain- to erase indelible stains that pollute the memory. Each piece condenses a biography and is somehow at the same time its existential conclusion (…). A prominent touch of tragic irony pervades these short stories that seem to have been devised as traps in which the characters get caught due to the weight of their own actions, or because others know how to push them in, or due to the despoils caused by Time, the great hunter, the one who always wins the hunt”. María Rosa Lojo, La Nación.
