Summary

Una intriga policial que excede el género negro para dar paso a una verdadera novela de aprendizaje.

Carmen Ávila, escritora chilena, ha desaparecido, y el enigma debe resolverlo Rosa Alvallay detective de 54 años, divorciada, dos hijos que tiene el exilio a sus espaldas y un nuevo caso entre las manos. Las pistas son los tres hombres que tuvo Carmen: su marido, un esquivo escritor mexicano y un guerrillero que fue su amante; y también la última frase que dejó la mujer desaparecida: Me siento como una princesa en un minarete.
 
Una obra que sigue las huellas de Nosotras que nos queremos tanto, Antigua vida mía y El albergue de las mujeres tristes, y rastrea entre las distintas soledades la mayor de todas, que es única, insondable y mujer: Nuestra Señora de la Soledad.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A police intrigue that exceeds noir to give way to a true coming-of-age novel.

Carmen Avila, Chilean author, has gone missing, an enigma that must be solved by Rosa Alvallay, a 54-year-old divorced detective, with two children and exile on her back, and a new case in her hands. Her leads are three men Carmen was with: her husband, an elusive Mexican writer, and a rebel who was her lover. But also, the last statement left by the missing woman: I feel like a princess in a minaret.
 
A work that follows in the footsteps of We That Love Each Other So Much, My Old Life, and The Retreat for Heartbroken Women, and tracks, among different kinds of loneliness, the greatest one of all, which is unique, unfathomable, and a woman: Our Lady of Solitude.
