La historia bebe del neofantástico para devolverle a estas mujeres su carácter mágico, la naturaleza sagrada de su metamorfosis. La autora rinde homenaje a través de estás páginas al aquelarre de mujeres que la cuidaron y la abrigaron, al caparazón que la protegió durante muchos años. Corre la mugre que la sociedad volcó en ellas y le devuelve fe en su hechizo. La vita della casa di Zia Encarna è rivoluzionata dall'arrivo de Lo Splendore degli Occhi, un neonato abbandonato che la donna strappa ai rovi per farlo suo: le scene in cui la donna prova ad allattarlo sono commoventi. Keiran Goddard, author of Hourglass Confronting, radical, hopeful, The Queens of Sarmiento Park does one of the most important things a book (or a life) can do. It looks at all the rubble and the dirt and asks: "Can we make anything beautiful from this?"A beautiful novel, moving, disturbing, raw and honest' Fernanda Melchor, author of Hurricane Season The language is blunt, sometimes quite crude, but there are also elements of magic realism, like Maria the Mute (a ‘flea-ridden waif’ rescued by Encarna) who slowly mutates into a bird, and Natalia, who as the seventh male daughter of her family, turned into a she-wolf when the moon was full. And then there is the unbreakable bond that develops between the dumped baby – Twinkle In Her Eye – and the 178-year-old Encarna, culminating in a devastating conclusion to their relationship years later which is both deeply moving and, in this world, inevitable.

Cuánta sensibilidad hay en este libro! ¡Cuántas emociones despierta! No es una emotividad empalagosa, todo en él se halla en justas proporciones: tristeza, belleza y dolor, sobre todo dolor. De qué otra manera podía ser la vida de un grupo de travestis si el mundo para ellas es una enorme y escabrosa cuesta que siempre escalan. Alpinistas que se enfrentan a las inclemencias de la transfobia: pisoteadas, escupidas, odiadas. Las malas” es sin duda una de mis mejores lecturas de lo que va de año. Es ese tipo de libro que te deja una resaca monumental, y una mezcla de sentimientos, no todos buenos, que consiguen dejarte tocado. Mientras leía la historia de Camila, no he podido evitar emocionarme muchas veces, y no solo por lo duro e injusto que son los hechos que narra la autora, sino por como lo cuenta. Camila tiene un estilo crudo, brusc Until, one freezing evening, Auntie Encarna hears crying in the bushes and wades in to investigate. When she finds an abandoned baby boy, she will hear no arguments: she is bringing him home to care for him. Life for Camila and the others will never be the same again. Una historia te deja ver una realidad desconocida, que tal vez intuyes pero que la literatura te permite vivir. Conmovedora, un texto que duele, enseña e implica. Pequeñas partículas de realismo mágico sobrevuelan en la cruda realidad que esconden estas páginas.Bad Girls ( Spanish: Las malas) is the first novel by Argentine author Camila Sosa Villada, first published in Argentina on March 1, 2019, by Barcelona-based book publisher Tusquets Editores, [1] which later published it in Spain on June 9, 2020.
