🪑Elena Knows by Claudia Piñeiro🪑
Elena has Parkinson’s and her daughter Rita is found hanged. The police deem it a suicide but Elena knows there must be something more at play. Will she find out?
This book reminded me a lot of Still Alice by Lisa Genova with how it depicts Parkinson’s so realistically. I found the characters, one in particular, delightfully horrible. It’s a short read that was translated so there’s some parts, like formatting, that tripped me up a little. Overall though this was a great read with some mystery thrown in.
