Welcome to your May read, Cautery by Lucía Lijtmaer, translated by Maureen Shaughnessy.
Two stories stitched together, two women navigating marriages, break ups, anxiety and discontent. We move between today’s Barcelona with its wine bars and narrow winding streets, and 17th-century Massachusetts in this witty, and at times savage, read that follows two parallel lives, one real and one imagined.
We’re delighted to be able to share another read from Charco Press, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
