Pure stories…

This summer we are going to read you stories by Latin American writers.

Summer Reading at the Bookstore presents: “The Things We Lost in the Fire.”
In this work, writer Mariana Enríquez presents a raw and disturbing reality in which women face an extreme form of domestic violence.
The story focuses on the “burning women,” a group of women who, in an act of protest and resistance, burn themselves to cope with the brutality and pain caused by their partners.
This shocking act of defiance becomes a way of regaining control over their bodies and lives, while also making visible the magnitude of the problem of gender violence.
The story highlights not only violence, but also resilience and women's ability to find ways to resist and support each other in the midst of chaos and pain.
