ByPublisher Description
•FOR FANS OF FEMINIST WORKS: Mesa's work calls to mind recent successes that blend a gothic sensibility with a strong social message, such as in the books of Samanta Schweblin, Han Kang, and more classic writers like Shirley Jackson and Angela Carter.
•CAPTURES THE ANXIETY OF OUR AGE: Just in time for the election comes this book exploring abuses of power, about a world designed to benefit only a handful, and socio-economic unease. It reads like a classic gothic novel, in which something secret and sinister is unveiled at an elite boarding school.
•WORLDWIDE MOMENT FOR MESA: In 2020, her works will be published in more than ten countries around the world, ensuring that her books will be discussed by a broad reading public.
•INTERNATIONAL ACCLAIM: Over her relatively short career, Mesa has won almost every Spanish award available, including the prestigious Ojo Critico. With each publication (especially Cara de Pan in late 2018), her reputation as a major figure continues to grow.
