All Yours | Claudia Piñeiro

Praise for Claudia Pi?eiro's Thursday Night Widows: "An agile novel, a ruthless dissection of a fast decaying society.”--Jos? Saramago, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature "A gripping story. The dystopia portrayed is an indictment not solely of an assassin but of Argentina’s class structure and the willful blindness of its petty bourgeoisie.”--The Times Literary Supplement "A fine morality tale which explores the dark places societies enter when they place material comfort before social justice, and security before morality.”--Publishers Weekly Ines is convinced that every wife is bound to be betrayed one day, so she is not surprised to find a note in her husband Ernesto’s briefcase with a heart smeared in lipstick crossed by the words "All Yours” and signed, "Your true love.” She follows him to a park on a rainy winter evening and witnesses a violent quarrel he has with another woman. The woman collapses; Ernesto sinks her body in a nearby lake. When Ernesto becomes a suspect in the case she provides him with an alibi. After all, hatred can bring people together as urgently as love. But Ernesto cannot bring his sexual adventures to an end, so Ines concocts a plan for revenge from which there is no return. Claudia Pi?eiro, formerly a journalist and playwright, is the author of literary crime novels that are all bestsellers in Latin America and have been translated into six languages. All Yours follows on the success of Thursday Night Widows, published in 2010 in the United States.

This is a clever and fun crime novel. Inés discovers her husband has an affair and wants to save her marriage at any cost. And the costs are high! Many twists and a bit of irony make this a great fast paced read by Claudia Piñeiro, who has become a favorite author.
I just don‘t know what to think of the other storyline, the one about her daughter.

Thanks for putting this on my radar Sue ?

Amor4Libros I loved this one! 3mo
BarbaraBB @Amor4Libros So good! 3mo
Suet624 Hahaha. Did you intend to put that question mark there? You know what? I had completely forgotten about the daughter's storyline. I guess you're right - it wasn't all that important. 3mo

BarbaraBB @Suet624 Which question mark? About the daughter, Piñeiro must have had a reason to add it yet I can‘t seem to figure out why. 3mo
Suet624 Oh, when I look on my iPhone instead of my computer it shows a heart. I guess my computer can‘t read emojis. Never mind. 🤷ðŸ»â€â™€ï¸ 3mo
BarbaraBB @Suet624 Another thing that didn‘t do much: when Alicia‘s body is found the autopsy shows she was pregnant. Nothing is done with that information, I am not even sure that Ines and Ernesto hear about it! 3mo
BarbaraBB @Suet624 That‘s weird! But it‘s a heart indeed 😃 3mo
Suet624 I‘m certain it‘s not a great crime novel but I really liked how it made me laugh and how quickly she told the story. 3mo
BarbaraBB @Suet624 Yes! It doesn‘t matter at all, it‘s still a great read!! 3mo

#WeeklyForecast 37/24

I am reading Verona for #EuropaCollective but have a hard time finishing it, so boring and childish.
Next will be the tagged, I am excited to have learned that Piñeiro has an extensive backlist - thanks to @Suet624
The Laughter was a gift from Cindy and I have heard good things about it!

LeeRHarry I often think about Cindy when I‘m on Litsy. 💕 4mo
Tamra Oh shoot, I‘m just about to start Verona. I always have high hopes for Europa books. (edited) 4mo
LeahBergen Oh, darn. I‘ve liked the other Gardams I‘ve read 4mo

squirrelbrain Oh no, that doesn‘t sound promising about Verona. 😬 4mo
BarbaraBB @Tamra @LeahBergen @squirrelbrain I was convinced I‘d love it because #EuropaEditions but unfortunately no 🤷ðŸ»â€â™€ï¸ 4mo
sarahbarnes Excited to hear what you think of The Laughter! I loved it. 4mo
BarbaraBB @sarahbarnes I stacked it because pf your review! 3mo

The author of Elena Knows has written another captivating story. Written prior to Elena, Pineiro tells the story of Ines who believes her husband is having an affair. This story takes many twists as she witnesses a death, tries to rekindle the relationship, is betrayed again, & seeks revenge. There is humor that weaves in and out which adds to the story. It‘s a quick read and holds your attention.

sarahbarnes What?! Stacking immediately! 4mo
BarbaraBB What @sarahbarnes says! I had no idea and she‘s an autobuy for me! 4mo
Suet624 @sarahbarnes @barbarabb I just found out that one of my local libraries has three more of her books that I haven‘t read. Super excited! 4mo

What a weird little crime story!! It‘s not really a mystery, because you know who did the crime, but it‘s still very twisty (though not all of the twists were surprising). I‘m not 100% sure why the storyline with the daughter was there, and it kind of kept throwing me out of the atmosphere of the main story. This was my translated book written by a woman for @bookriot #ReadHarder and my #LetterA for #LitsyAtoZ (in translation)

I love discovering books in translation (especially #womenintranslation) that I‘ve not heard of. Have you read anything by Claudia Piñero before?

RadicalReader @RealLifeReading gorgeous cover never heard of womenintranslation before. What languages of books do you like to read? 6y
JamieArc Intriguing! 6y
zembla Ooh, I love crime fiction and haven‘t heard of this author before. Crime fiction + #womenintranslation makes me think of this disturbing book by Natsuo Kirino, only for those with very strong stomachs: 6y
batsy I've heard of her but haven't read! Look forward to your thoughts. 6y

After checking how far behind I was for #readaroundtheworld , I came across this wickedly delightful #crime #novel set in #Argentina.
Though I wanted to borrow the paperback from the library, the fast-paced story kept me glued and tapping the screen with #overdrive
