Elena Knows
PiƱeiro is a bestselling Argentinian crime author but thatās only scratching the surface of what she accomplishes in this tale. After her daughter Rita is found dead, the police write it off as a suicide but Elena is sure thereās more to it. After all, Elena has advanced Parkinsonās and Rita was her caregiver. Her investigation is hampered by the short blocks of time her medication affords her to be more mobile, offering insights into the ableism, ageism, and classism wielded by society. This is a priority read for me as it was highly recommended by a reader I trust. Translated from the Spanish by Frances Riddle. 143 pages.
