3.5 / lo encontré bueno. tiene pasajes muy viscerales, feos y a la vez bellos, realistas rondando en el horror. la autora hace un súper buen trabajo en describir la vida de la empleada doméstica, vida que se vive a medias, oculta y muda. no me gustó mucho la narración en algunas partes y el final me dejó marcando ocupado wjajdjq siento que no lo entendí del todo

I read the English translation. This was a novel that spoke to the invisible work done by domestic workers. The novel does engage with class politics. For the family in the novel, who employs the maid, it is clear that she occupies a fringe space—she doesn't even register to them, even when she does it is only as an afterthought. The book does a good job in portraying the seeping alienation and loneliness experienced by the maid as she feels increasingly trapped in the house. The prose is quick.
