La Habitacion de Las Niñas - by Pablo Escudero (Paperback)

About the Book

Germán Calderari has an orderly life and a family past he doesn't like to dwell on. He lives in Orcelis, works as a court clerk, has grown accustomed to solitude, and has almost forgotten the name of Lupe, his twin. One day, social services knock on his door and ask him to take in Gloria, his niece whom he barely knows. A victim of past abuse, the girl is reluctant to accept what the authorities have decided for her. Indomitable and with a personality that will win over readers, she and her uncle will have to learn to live together and collaborate when they realize that Lupe's past is haunting them. They will have to flee and hide from old sins committed by others. But they will understand that they cannot accept fear as a way of life and always flee, and that at some point they must stand up.
