The She-devil in the Mirror by Horacio Castellanos Moya
Laura Rivera can't believe what has happened. Her best friend has been killed in cold blood in the living room of her home, in front of her two young daughters. Nobody knows who pulled the trigger, but Laura will not rest easy until she finds out. Her delirious, hilarious and blood-curdling monologue carries the reader on a rough-and-tumble ride through the social, political, economic and sexual chaos of post-civil-war San Salvador. Shortlisted for the prestigious Premio Romulo Gallegos for novels in 2001
"The only writer of my generation who knows how to narrate the horror, the secret Vietnam that Latin America was for a long time" - Roberto Bolano
