Verónica Balda is a journalist and presenter of one of the most popular morning radio programs. One day, she receives news that will completely change the course of her life: a young woman has fallen from the fifth floor of a building in the Recoleta neighborhood. The apartment belongs to a farming family and the woman’s death is much more than alarming news. Verónica knows who she is, a dense and secret history connects them. As the novel unfolds, the reader will learn different versions of the events, revealing how a story can be multifaceted and subjective, full of artifice and assumptions.
A master at constructing disturbing atmospheres and managing narrative tension, Claudia Piñeiro boldly tackles a chillingly topical issue and, through the always fascinating possibility of fiction, lays bare one of the darkest, most intimate and ancient links: that of VIP prostitution with the powers that be.
«Alongside the genius that no one can doubt Piñeiro possesses at this stage in his literary career, I must highlight an even more important and rare fact: Piñeiro continues to perfect his craft, faithful to his style, novel after novel. There is evolution in his work, within its exquisite quality. And A Death Not of One’s Own is a good example of what I am saying»
David Lorenzo, El Imparcial
«Piñeiro has produced a new novel, in which she reaffirms her position as the most important author of the millennium in Argentina, a kind of beacon for a generation of writers who are setting a new tone for national literature»
