Oldladyvoice

Translated from Spanish by Charlotte WhittleWhile her mother is in the hospital with a grave but unnamed illness, Marina spends the summer with her grandmother, waiting to hear whether she`ll get to go home or be bundled off, newly orphaned, to a convent school. There are no rules at Grandma`s, but that also means there are no easy ways to fend off the visions of sex and violence that torment and titillate the girl. Presenting a unique and vivid take on the coming-of-age novel, `Oldladyvoice` reimagines childhood through the eyes of its one-of-a-kind, hilarious, perceptive and endearing narrator.
