Las Viudas de los Jueves

Claudia Pineiro,Claudia Pineiro

En Altos de la Cascada viven familias que llevan un mismo estilo de vida y que quieren mantenerlo cueste lo que cueste. Alli, un grupo de amigos se reune semanalmente lejos de las miradas de sus hijos, sus empleadas domesticas y sus esposas, quienes excluidas del encuentro varonil, se autodenominan, bromeando, las viudas de los jueves. Pero una noche la rutina se quiebra y ese hecho permite descubrir, en un pais que se desmorona, el lado oscuro de una vida perfecta. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A group of friends who wish to maintain their lifestyle at any cost gathers on a weekly basis far from the fleeting looks of their spouses, who, excluded from the manly encounters, jokingly call themselves, Thursdays’ Widows. But one night the routine is broken and we are able to see, in a country that crumbles, the dark side of a perfect life. An agile novel, written in a perfectly suitable language for the subject matter, an implacable analysis of a social microcosm in an accelerated process of decay. – Jose Saramago.
