The book tells us four stories about women who also were murderers. Alia Trabucco Zerán wanted to build stories around them and also dig into feminism.
Well.. The stories about the women frame a rather short period of their life, we don't really get to know them, except for maybe the last Story about Teresa. I excpected more from this book, deeper analyses, deeper stories and a deeper feministic approach. All these chilean women share interesting stories that should be told, but I can't loose the feeling, that they maybe should be told by someone else.
Additionally the Autors own diarie entries really botheres me. It read like a voice over in a documentation about an artist. I could have gladly lived without them in this book.
And lastly, there are some.. explicit and detailed pictures in the book without any kind of contend warning. Trabucco Zerán even says "[...] the violent murder were illustrated with images that today would be unlikely to be shown to the general public." and then proceeds to show those specific pictures.

Leí a Alia Trabucco y me pareció un poco pesado el estilo que utilizó durante casi todo el libro, es como tipo ensayo y me recordaba a leer una tesis 😅 sobre todo porque los casos eran tan antiguos que ella misma admite que no tenía muchos datos entonces muchas veces sentía que era ella dando vueltas y tratando de llenar vacíos y también daba un poco de vueltas en los casos. Pero el ultimo caso empieza diferente porque lo escribe como estilo novela y esa parte sí me gustó mucho, disfruté mucho esa parte como tipo cuento lo que me anima un poco a leer algo más de esta autora solo en otro género literario
