Overview

«El suelo inofensivo me daba miedo porque no sabía si debajo de sus pies se abriría la tierra.»
 
¿Qué pasa cuando someter a otras personas es la única forma de sobrevivir? ¿La desobediencia es posible siempre? ¿Qué redes de complicidad teje el silencio? ¿Cómo distinguir entre víctima y victimario? Aquí hay dos narradoras potentes y perspicaces: Lucero y Dolores. La primera es una adolescente de juicios agudos y la apremiante necesidad de recibir aceptación. La segunda es la madre de Nancy, compañera de secundaria de Lucero, que atraviesa la agonía de buscar a su hija desaparecida. Ambas voces enhebran una historia compleja sobre un grupo de niñas casi adultas cautivo en una casona en los márgenes de la ciudad.
 
Laura Baeza traza una novela entrañable y brutal que añade nuevas notas a las discusiones sobre la violencia, el deseo, la amistad, la ternura y la libertad humana. Con su oído privilegiado y una prosa accesible sin llegar a dócil, la autora nos lleva desde las primeras líneas a un viaje por las contradicciones de la adolescencia. El lugar de la herida es un territorio que sangra y cicatriza al mismo tiempo, símbolo de un país que reproduce y resiste la violencia feminicida en pleno siglo XXI.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

“Even the ground itself scared me because I didn’t know if the Earth would open up under his feet.”
 
What happens when subjecting others is the only way to survive? Is disobedience always possible? What webs of complicity does staying silent create? Can you always tell the victim from the victimizer? This story has two powerful and insightful narrators. Lucero is a judgemental teenager desperate to fit in. Dolores is a mother searching for her lost daughter, Nancy, a high school classmate of Lucero’s. Their voices merge to tell a complex story about a group of girls on the edge of adulthood held captive in a mansion on the edge of the city.  
 
In this harsh and moving novel, Laura Baeza adds new elements for reflection on topics as fundmental as violence, desire, friendship, tenderness and freedom. Her writing is accessible but never tame, with a keen ear for dialogue that plunges the reader into the contradictions of adolescence. The Place of the Wound is both open wound and scar, emblematic of a country that perpetuates violence against women even as it resists it in the twenty-first century.
